They say daughters need their mothers,

                   but what can I do?

My mother is the anger in my words,

             The words in my silence.

My mother is the pain in my tears,

             The ghost in my smile.

                        My Mother,

            Is the hurt in my heart,

            The fear in my bones.

                        My Mother,

          Is the voice in my head,

          That claws at my mind.

                        My Mother,

That was supposed to mould me, build me,

                         Broke me.
