"You are not my mother"
"You are not my mother"
"You are not my mother"
I said it, three times.
I said it once, then I repeated the same 5 words,
over and over.
Today, she proclaimed.
"You can not deny my motherhood."
She is right.
I can't.
She is my mother
I am her daughter.
I am happy today
Why you ask.
Because
She finally stood up today
She said out loud words that stemmed from her heart
Mother,
You are right
I can not deny your motherhood
No one can.
You define your motherhood
But I define my daughterhood
If you want me
You have to embrace me as I am
With the good and the bad.
There is an ache, a longing, no matter what, to be loved by your parents. Whether you know your birth parents or not, whether you lost them or not, there is always a painful longing to be loved by them. That void is never filled. You live and die with that void.
Happy birthday to me.
Luv
Sajju
