Writing on the Wall

580 notes

I’ve always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a steamer trunk at the foot of the bed.

every year, my mom asks for a letter from all of us for christmas. the past two years I have been late or neglected to even write one. this year, I plan to write her a poem. 

I am my mother’s child

for she gave everything for me

some kids

they were accidents

told so at every chance

every argument

but my momma

they tell me everyday that i was wanted

that for years little souls came and went 

before they could grow

just so mine could butt it’s way in

these days there’s not a lot of good I can see

but sometimes I still look in the mirror

and tell myself again and again

you were wanted
