Of all the things in the world that make me feel small,
my mother is not one of them.
There are moments when
I am at the end of the rope
the world is throwing me no bones
I am a pockmark of consequence
that has been pitted from the fabric
of this universe
and even in this shrunken state
as I lie next to her
floating in what I believe is a pond
of my own emotions
she makes me feel like
I am the entire ocean.
She reminds me that
this will never be easy
and sadness is a fountain
that will never dry
but I don’t have to be enough
for the whole world
I only need to be enough
to see to it that I am myself.
Even as a child
burrowed in her own sorrow
she reminds me that I am home
and I might not realize how
heavy my bones are on the floor
or how quickly my eyelids flutter
at the first open window
but she sees my very existence
as an infliction upon the realm itself
an interruption as if to say
you cannot go on without me
that is how she has always seen me
and who am I to doubt that my mother
is wiser than the world.
A word on inheritance and motherly advice (via ink-trails)
