& I told her

thank you for creating

human life because her son is

the greatest part of mine.

& I gave her

pictures of her son and I,

so she knows she made those toothful grins

come to life.

& I could never tell her

thank you enough

for giving birth to her son

If I didn't have him,

I’m not quite sure who I’d become.

& I could tell her

she raised him well to respect

and believe in girls like myself.

& I think she already knows

as a mother, she didn’t fail

her son is identical to

a guardian angel.

& all mothers like her should be told

they are special even more so on a regular day.

Think about what they do for the world; it’s a miracle.

& all mothers I have to say

thanks a billion times

for having endured the aches and pains

of childbirth it’s truly superhuman skills.

& all mothers who haven’t been told

Your beloved, I say you are a billion times

because you are responsible

for having created a human life.

i can't. i can't. i can't. i can't. i can't.

someone please help me

Used to live inside a room

With no capacity to bloom

Scared to face reality

Ignoring his true face and beauty

The door was always open

But he preferred staying inside

Scared to see his happiness stolen

Killing the breath of every desire

Finally he decided to leave

Avoiding his own grief

His eyes married the darkness

Couldn't hide his true face

Crossing the door was his first step

The first time he felt like himself

Struggling for years, asking for help

Finally he will be happy in his shelf

Nothing on the list of his needs

Except support and time to proceed

The first second out of prison

Already able to see the horizon

Comfortable in his own skin

Not wearing a mask anymore

Happy with people around him

Giving him the feeling that he's gonna win

Many questions may be asked

A lot of whispers could be made

But whatever happens

He will always be him

ragged wintry gusts

carve the pallid icebound boughs

a whitewashed palette

a haiku about my favourite season, winter

Letting you down - the

one thing that scares me more than

being you again.

- a haiku to my past self

A, an, the, he, she, it, I, you, they, we. Pronouns and articles. I use them all the time, and they are some of my favourite words.

To borrow a few words from Albus Dumbledore:

Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

Who else remembers these? :)
