My Mama

she once carried a thousand dreams,
yet somehow, while becoming a mother, she slowly let her own fade away.
when was the last time you dreamed a dream,
that ONLY belonged to you?
where is that small corner of your heart
where your wishes used to rest, the place you visited so often?
when did you lose yourself,
in a world built only for everyone else?
when did you let go of who you were,
just to become ours?
come sit with me today,
I have a wish of my own,
let your desires exist beyond me,
let your heart hold dreams that are yours alone.
together, we’ll bring those dreams back.
may you become everything you ever longed to be.
I will do everything to fulfil your forgotten desires.
because it’s you and only you that keeps me warm in this cold, cold world.
