It engulfed my misery, which I hid from you.
Mother, Last night, when you called me
The lights in my room were dim
In a corner, I was engulfed in the shiny wrapper of expectations
The walls were approaching from different directions.
It appeared I would be buried among the crumbled walls, just as I did with the rose you nurtured while I rubbed it into my palms; it died except I remembered its essence today.
Mother, I felt the pain that it gone through
How cruel we are, how we crush things that appear beautiful to take the essence, how cruel still I am, how I am crushing myself to take the best from me, how selfish I am till today to revolve around Pluto but I forgot I still had the moon.
Mother, I saw my diary today
Father gifted me while I cut the cake and sprinkled water to welcome and invite spring for the tenth year of the glorious moon.
Mother, Your sunflower is tired today
The bedsheet had witnessed your bud fall into a casket
The diary pages could not hold the essence of what I wrote then so it became a shroud of my expectations.
Mother, You called me today, and you asked me to celebrate the moon but it was eclipsed, You know about the latent of your flower, how his heart breaks so easily but you nurtured me to survive the rage of the Tsunami yet I couldn't hold myself when the rain hit me today.
Mother, I saw you smiling, and the little spectrum of Ray visited my crumbled room, the corner is filled with ashes now and I will rise as a Phoenix,
My skin is ephemeral but it has painted pain entirely
It will not outshine forever, I promise you, Mother.
