To you

Poetry Expo 25


This poem is dedicated to the author's dead mother.


To my mother

I would like to thank you
For your patience.
For keeping me awake at nights.
For avoiding to see who I really am.
I would like to thank you
For all the long nights we ve gone through together,
When all we had was darkness.
Thank you my sweet and beloved mother.
I never forgot you.
It was an honor.


The project is part of the subtheme Healing Narratives - Poetry, Mental Health and Collective Trauma.
