Woe! To me that gave birth to a stranger.

Yesterday I envied to be a mother

And have the fruits of being a heroine.

Yet today…

Today I am a nobody,

I’ve been fighting tooth and nail for them.

Deprived myself a leverage of having the joy of my youth because I was a mother.

Cut myself loose, only when they were

Around me.

They gave me a purpose to live

But today it’s the contrary.

The very same little people have grown.

The ones whom I gave birth to,

ones I tried so bad to burp them

After a meal, I couldn’t even consume.

Sometimes it was never easy

Not like manna and it wasn’t enough for everyone.

I’ve stayed hungry for days,

Looking over them, as inspiration.

I’ve taken my last Penny to make sure

Their dreams are not doomed but a reality.

Yet today,

I am vicious.

Could have left one of you drown in the river.

The other one be burned by fire,

Last one whom has always been adventurous,

Be forever lost in the crowd and never be found.

I’ve kept looking and hoping to find you.

I was never at peace without you by my sight.

Yet today I might die all by myself,

You’re out there gallivanting,

Forgetting how much your silence worries me.

Forgetting my sight get blind, sometimes my heart feel somber by not hearing even

Seeing you.

I’ve lost, but the universe gained

Your precious time which I’ve

Eagerly invested.

Forgetting I was there, the whole time.

When you cried the whole night for nothing.

On your first teething,

I was there even on your first step

I was your eyes to everything,

Yet today, I am a nobody.

I don’t blame you for making me

A mother,

But my teaching not have enough humanity.

Look, I am getting old yet

Alone.

But accompanied by melancholy and

Devoid.
