Wednesday
I remember
When my mom loved me.
I thought she'd always love me.
But she didn't.
I thought she'd always be there for me.
But she wasn't.
I was so young,
And so was she.
I couldn't blame her;
She made a mistake.
I remember
Thinking I could fix her mistake
On a Wednesday.
But I was stopped before I could
On that Wednesday
I was stopped
because I am loved.
Not by her,
But that's okay
Because I realized
that that was her mistake.
I was never the mistake.
