Mother

Mother

i am your daughter 

 

from our hunched shoulders to our furrowed brows 

i am your daughter

from our reproachful eyes to our sharp tongues

i am your daughter

from our broken backs to our calloused hands

i am your daughter 

 

Mother 

do you remember me

do you regret me

do you look at me and lament

what you have created

 

but i am your flesh and blood

i am your kin and your spawn

i am your wretched doing

so do you remember

Mother

how you have made me

i am your finest creation

i will take from you

how you took from me

 

I will have what I am owed

I will have my debts repaid

what you have carved from my soul

I will take in flesh and blood
