You once asked me
Why won't you tell me who you loved?
I responded gently
As if speaking to a child
When you love somebody
So closely and dear
Its a moment in your heart
Where your mind becomes clear
Painted so vividly within your thoughts
The ones that you love stands bright and tall
*The moments we spend together
They were special
Nobody knows about it
The more people who know
The less special it becomes*
I smiled to myself
As I dazed off about that time
To which you countered with
How do you know if he felt the same?
Silence filled the air
As I thought for a moment
*Quite frankly I dont know
I have no solid proof
It was unspoken between us
It was a breif time of our youth*
Then why is it so special?
*Because I loved him
No matter if those feelings
Were returned or not*

Teach me mother how to say NO..
To raise my voice and swim across the oceans.
To value safety over politeness.
To feel comfortable in my own skin without seeking any validation from the outside world.
Teach me mother to hit back, when I'm mistreated, when my feelings are not validated and disrespected.
Teach me mother to know what I want.
To be brave, stand tall and bold.
Teach me mother to believe in my dreams, to dream of a better world.
Because when you're gone, I'll carry the legacy, that doesn't have to be out of pain and suffering.
Mother, teach me to be my own hero so that I won't tread the path taken by you again.
