mother (and child)

How my mother hates her body
When she is 18
No one tells her I will grow up
Hate my body at 18

Who stole her worth?
Who held her mouth?
Who took her trust?
Did you give up on us?
As victims
Stupid bodies carry weight
Traumatic histories
Could you erase me?

You shouldn't hate your body
You shouldn't hate your body
I am trying to not hate myself

Generational
Talk through trauma
Generational
Cry for your mother
Did not deserve that
Cry for kindness
When you're 18
Understand that

Mom I was 18
Forgive my body
Like you were 18
Learning your boundaries
Who took your uterus?
My eyes now heavy
So mom could you hold me?
I'm just your baby
Dreaming of heaven
You of salvation
Somewhere you'll hold me
Because I'm just your baby
Mom, could you hold me?
I'm just your baby
Mom, could you hold me?
I'm just your baby
