Spoilt - a bitter truth

SPOILT
a bitter truth
___

I still wish
to be fed
with mom's food

I still wish
to be cared for
day and night

I still wish
to be loved
praised and hugged

- but -

I am just
a selfish woman
fearing to care

I am just
a neglecting mother
overlooking her child

I am just
an adult child
days full of play

- thus -

I should now
face my own truth
see who I am

I should now
be strong to rid
the false tears

I should now
kick my ass
get up to work

- cause -

I so wish
to be a wife
joining his fight

I so wish
to be a mother
giving a home

I so wish
to undo myself
from the burden that's me
