Always One Teardrop Away
Mom, I promise to always be a teardrop away.
My personality has shattered, but it will not always be this way.
Even though my disappearance will always be unspoken.
I will rise from the aftermath, after so many nights unbroken.
Even though my struggles you will always resent.
Even though I wish we could share my imprisonment.
Think of being away from me as respite.
And so will I, even as I fall deeper in this pit.
Together, someday, our guilt will vanish.
Your voice is not in my head, it is the one I will cherish!
