Mom I Know You Did Not Ask For Me

I came here hopefully. 

But not willingly. 

I came here to be protected!

I guess I’m old enough to be rejected…

By a mom who wanted a child. 

To release as an adult without guilt, but my condition is not mild. 

Mild as her love…

Which I can sense is fading into the above. 

Mom, I’m sorry for the years you invested in me. 

I will never be old enough to be free.
