Dear Mother, You Are Twenty

Dear mama, I dont know

How hard could it be

Mother of three

Trailers in the sunset 

Screams of us breaking

Shards of glasses

Metaphorically all your

Dreams, your losses

I'm the only one who's seen your

Ambitions, thoughts 

You'll never be free

Dear mama, you're a shadow

I don't know how you survived without

Letting us know

Tears are falling, I am sorry 

Fighter, fly higher, 

Not a phoenix turned to ashes

Your kids know, you're fire

A home-maker, mum I know

Your eyes, they light up

Talking, like they are younger,

When you were stronger;

Now you let go, 

Forget your own hunger

I admire;

How you think that things, they could be better

In your mind

Dear mother, you are twenty;
