'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..
