Mother, do you hear me?

The deepness of the hole

Long since carved into my soul, and

Waiting to be consoled


Mother, do you see me?

My desperateness, my goals

My unreachable aspirations

My forever stubborn pride


Do you know me as your daughter?

If you do, surely, you'd know

That all I need to be told, right now

Isn't anything I can hold

It's nothing my friends can give me

It's too hidden for them to feel

I need to know I'm worthy

I need to know you're there


I don't always trust you, Mother

I don't always want to listen

Forgive me when I turn away, but

Never forsake me in my agony

Just touch me lightly, on the shoulder

When my body writhes in pain

That will be enough, my Mother

To keep me smiling

For another day
