Its only blood
I am my mothers daughter
I’ve searched for her love in every corner of my room
Begged for her comfort in every part of me that she gave to me
If she was as beautiful as I am
Maybe she’d see herself as I once saw her
She has never hated me
She has only hated herself
A mothers hate is not much different than a mothers love
I want to live in a place where she cannot reach me
Maybe on top of the highest mountain
Or the bottom of the sea
I am my mothers daughter
I am fire and I am smoke
But I am not brave nor as strong as I seem
I don’t know when to shut my mouth
I look for her in the eyes of everyone I meet
Or in the validation of my first, second, and so on loves
She kisses my wounds
Tells me I’m her baby
I turn my back
And she pours salt in the gashes she’s created
I am my mothers daughter
She’ll give me all her hurt until her breathing stops
Fill me with guilt as her heart beats for the last time
Guilt that will turn me to stone
Stones that will pull my feet down to the bottom of the sea
Please forgive me
For I can only lie to myself every time I forgive you
