My name in comparison
Sounds very sad,
With the way you speak of them,
Holding pedestals.

And I’ve never been
The best one in class,
But I bleed the lines
That write your love,

And my body won’t ever
Look like theirs,
But I use it to embrace
Your lonely soul,

And my silent mouth
Never speaks a word,
But my sunken eyes
Tell you all the lore,

I came out the womb,
And I clutched your hair,
But I never felt
The love you professed,

But I carry on,
Your story on my back,
When I love you, mom,
I never think twice.
