~ Was it worth it? Creating me?
I know who I am
I see the tool that I am
I know my strength
And I see how ugly I am too
To forge me you had to hurt many people
You gave me permission to cause pain
You gave me the power to change other people's lives
Was it worth it?
I see it more clearly now
That I can't fix the soil I grew from and have lived in
I can't ask for more water than you offered me but you are my sunlight
You're the reason I'm forced to stay alive
Even though I am not watered enough and not looked after
Even though we both watch as my leaves dry of color and fall
You're the sunlight I'm forced to survive because of
The thin line between me and the never occurring end to my suffering
I hurt people
I hurt my mother
I see now that I had expected all along that I can love everyone
With kindness and compassion, I thought I can love everything and everyone
But you made me singular
A seed that has to fight for itself no matter what the soil is like, no matter if it's the only one in the field
I can't love everyone I meet
I create suffering
Most importantly I see now that the blessing of loving my mother is not in my hands
It's me or her
I could either lose myself or love her
After her long life
Her long trials
The horrible sacrifices and consequences
I wish it were different
Her story and her choices I wish she was supernatural so she could have fixed everything without passing the pain onto me
