My mother always in the kitchen. Knife is on her hand. Dripping blood splashing onto the counter. She smiles and says my name as it is a rhyming poem. My mother won't remember me. She will erase me the minute l'm gone. It's okay I will reach to the moon just to see her smile again. I'm enough. I'm enough. I'm enough. My mother fears me. She says, she doesn't recognize me anymore. So, I murdered every part and every version of myself. I gave cold body of mine to her and watched as she teared me apart. I put together pieces and created a new one. She despised the idea of loving a new creature. A new responsibility. A new monster to control. I lost track of time and days went by as I shred and create until there was nothing left for me to stay. Family gathered around and cried over an empty casket. Only two knew the truth and now one of them is dead. Killer is the mother.
