ghost of my mothers dream
i have seen her lingering on the back of my mother telling her if she tired harder maybe her husband would not be such a abuser.
with a degree higher than the men in the house isolated in the corner the certificates of her excellence.
sometimes she roars at me breaking the silence of her failure telling me to stay awake today so i can sleep tomorrow.even after losing the battle she fought.
she smiles at those men she hates and her ghost asking her to strip open her knife and murder all of them.but she hides down and down the night.
ghost of my mothers dream decorates the house like morning songs and evening parathas.
