Mother's Day I (but unhappy children exist)
it feels almost outrageous to even consider not to send greetings for today
there are so many things society tells us to do all that cultural conditioning that makes it hard to listen to oneself
but every fiber of my body resists the idea of celebrating this day of showing you gratefulness just because you birthed me
the idea of a mother being inherently sacred because she gives life because she loves unconditionally because she sacrifices so much for the well-being of her child it all makes me sick to my stomach
where is the space for the unhappy children in this narrative where is the space for the bruised souls and the broken hearts
