T'Keyah Wilder Poet I do not know?

'special Relation'

as a girl i shared a relation
with my mom..
shared this relation until 
i was seven
it was a best friend relation, 
one where i could tell her any and everything
in the world;

she was my adviser
and i was her advisee 
she'd sit me on the end of her bed and look me right in my eyes,
searching for nothing, but the truth;

by me being a kid, 
the truth was all i knew...
I'd tell her what she wanted
to hear
and warm her heart with glee...

we shared this relation
up until 2oo3 when 
she kinda sorta replaced me;;

a seed was produced
and 
as a kid i wouldn't know 
anything about 
the situation

i grew older
and everything
became more and more clear
to my young inquiring mind...
I began to let go of childish ways / things
and make room for my first younger sibling...
and now I stand here as a young lady in the making;;

a teenage girl in a
teenage body 
Withh a mindset far from
what you see..
