UNREALISED LOSS
My mother has lost herself.
I used to hate her for it.
Because now she doesn't understand
What growing up feels like.
She did it too quickly.
She skipped over the discovering
Skipped over the hurting
Skipped over the healing
Skipped over the blooming.
She dove headfirst
Into adulthood
And it took everything from her.
How can I hate someone
Who themself doesn't realise
How much they've lost?
