Mother

By Vera Espiritu

I swear I am never coming back I swear on every single subatomic particle of every single fiber of my being I will never come back I will never return to this place To these people For nearly two decades I was forced Forced to live in utter confinement Like a child too long in the womb Like a raging fire from the pits of my hellish soul I will never be calmed I will never be tamed I will not, for the rest of my life Look at your face ever again Hear your voice ring through my ears Feel the touch of your hands on me I detest you in a manner I've never felt A hate cultured with the utmost care I will find my freedom I am a child of no origin, heritage, a child of air I will never, for as long as I live Say your name again "Mother."

as a child, we have to take whatever they give even pains. For God sends his new divine to us.
