Oh! mama,
Please take me back
Too sick and tired
Pretending to the world
Trying in vain to belong
Tired of compromises
Always keeping mum
Tired of never,
Taking a stand
Staring at the ceiling
At night in despair
Tired of soaking
Pillows with tears
Tired of maintaining
My sanity
From further more
breaking apart
Take me back ,
To your womb
Or cradle me in arms
to my tomb.
