"Beyoncé" I heard a familiar voice echo and I looked into the direction and saw my mama. I never flew over to her so quick.. I hugged her and I felt so whole again. The sigh of relief I let out the moment she wrapped her arms around me.

The comfort that instant washed over me.
This hug alone is giving me the illusion that I am perfectly stable.
That I am okay, I will be okay.

I began to cry. The tears would not stop flowing.
My guardian angel.
Right in front of me.

The woman I love the most, I need the most.

"Baby.. what's going on with you?" She massaged my hair. This gave back so many memories where she would instantly climb into bed with me and massage my scalp whenever she seen or sensed that I was in a mood.

"Mama I don't know. I can't do this anymore." I cried.

"You can do this and you will. This is why I told you to stop playing the strong part. It is okay to not be okay. It is okay to have a moment of vulnerability. Now look, you're crashing down because you're bottling up your true emotions. I never seen you like this." She spoke into me.

"I was never like this. I know that. I just.. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel myself losing me.. I don't play my piano, I don't hang out with anyone. I don't know what's going on." I vented to her.

"Yeah you became like this because you thought it was a great coping mechanism for my death. You still think that now?" She asked me and I just looked up at her.

"Beyoncé grieve baby. I need you to let all of that out. You don't realize you're ruining everything around you. You thought building up a wall was your solution. Your solution is crumbling my dear.

You found comfort in being the stronger friend. Forgetting to put yourself first. You made the mistake of putting others ahead of you. I always told you to put yourself first. You ignored me."

"I didn't ignore you mama." It broke me to hear her say that.

"But you did. Had you listened and took care of yourself, I feel like this would be better handled. Now look, You just ran away one of the girls who loved you most other than your sisters out of your life."

"Mama, how am I supposed to tell her she's the reason I'm like this too? I want to trust her, I really do. I do trust her.
