thanks to @its_aves for hosting the comp <33 image is NOT mine ( scroll for poem ) i remember the days where i hid behind my mother's shadow she would tell me i'd be okay, and everything would be alright, until the day i stopped hiding and showed myself to the world. there came a point in life where i was locked and left behind and independence became my key, it became my map , my safe place. eventually i stopped trusting my mother. with small secrets, tiny tears i hid in shattered pieces, and i left her out of my journey; my journey as a person. everyday eventually felt cloudy; damp; as if it were always going to rain but i held back the waters, carried weights of worlds all on my shoulders until it was safe to storm. i learned quickly that my mother did not settle for anything less. she saw through my lies, through my smiles, and somehow began a search for the truth no matter what. she always told me she'd find out one way or another and so the race began. i'll have you know, i have feared my mother ever since the day i stopped hiding behind her shadow.
