I bless my mother’s body
By blessing my own
My legs develop from her in the womb
I am always a part of her
If I cursed her I cursed myself
Woman without women
A world filled with male gaze
All I wanted was my mothers
The beat of her heart echoes through my life
Sacrificing her life for my own, not understanding the triumphs back then were for this moment now
Love is the only way I know how to live
Because of my mother’s blessings and curses
I take care of myself because I somehow hope that it connects to her body too
For when her body is frail I will carry hers as she carried mine
Happy Birthday everyday to my mother
