This week, all my poems are only posted in here and on my IG Reels. Just a heads up! Today’s poem is based on the prompts, “I think we’re lost” #escapril and “create a poem about why you never sent the letters to your loved ones” #betweenlinesandverses.
Mother
I wonder why I couldn’t remember, slowly
the memories of when we’re the only, the first
remained was the moments when, we’re three
pressured to follow your footsteps, tested
numbers forced to build an image, gifted
lost the best place once, pressured
we both try to reach out now, awkward
we don’t talk about anything personal, cheesy
in actions we try to fix but a hole, present
I think we’re lost until apology, mother.
