My Mum

Born naked, born alone
Somebody gave me birth,
I was born.

Born without anybody I was, 
I feel as a tree with no roots.
I breath the air,  I try to.
I wake up every morning,
I wonder who I am,  but I try to get up.
I make steps,
but I make mistakes.
I wonder,  if my mistake is to be born.
Maybe it was, but I am alive.
Now I realised and I understand.
The one gave me the first 
breath, gave me the last one, 

An angel told me things I could'n t understand.
My mum wasn't an angel, or yes, she was. Nobody knows.
She took my hand and the next day she wasn't on Earth
