She didn't have much care in the
world
The simplest gifts of life made her feel
all warm on the inside
The drops of rain on her eyelids as
she danced around
just taking in all that the rain had to
offer
The shivers, the queit ambience...
She can be 12, 21 or 64,
I think it all
depends really on her mood
when you meet her
Mama! She dances to the sound of
laughter
You say she is crazy but
Mama! You see -
She is just fine.
Once upon a time you see,
Mama never walked for it was too
great a task
To ask
She had legs but they were just
conditioned to stand still
Not by her maker though!
But bound
Bound by the voices in her head that
Shut her up everytime
She stood to speak😔
Yes you heard right Bound! ⛓
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
Mama,
she would hear
(the voice screaming loud again to torment her)What do you see?
A pain?, a disaster?, a failed project?
Great pieces of ugly nothings!
Why indeed are you here?
Mama!
Every step she took , screamed pain
Every laughter leading you farther
and farther from the truth.
But you need to know
Mama! , You see once had a smile
capable to light up the whole universe,
But Noone told her about Appa
How much he loved her regardless of
Her flaws
How beautiful she was when she
smiled
And the fact that she didn't have to
look like what she had been
through but allow her scars to guide
her through life's terrain
She was hit hard!
And this time She didn't hear the
voice that encouraged her to Just fly
🌱
Mama left.

Author's Note🍒
Mama was inspired by the picture in the header, I really don't knowwhere the thought came from but it just rushed in and I grabbed the nearest pen and a piece of paper .
I have a strong feeling that Mama shares the same thought pattern with some people.
Battling with yourself more than the voices around you, in reality the battle with your mind is always the hardest.
Mental health honestly can't be stressed enough because many people are losing their lives because of it and it really hurts.
If you're seeing this, then I challenge you to put a smile on someone's face everyday, trust me it's the little things
that matter, the hugs they never expect, just a smile but put as little as
a smile.😊
