Mother , by Vera Espiritu Subscribe to rss feed for 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.
