Mommy Dearest

A shadow cast in harsh design, the Ombrielle I called her, truly mine. But laced with pain and sharp disdain, a memory held by careful chain. The disrespectful echoes now subside, a space within where I reside. No longer bound by endless pleas, Solivance arrived and set me free. From the broken ground, my colors start to rise, a self-chosen light beneath clear skies.
