Near. In. Nice. Arms (N.I.N.A.)

Mom, synoym of Mother.

Mother, defined by Webster

as the female parent.

Mother, defined by me as the

air in which I breath.

Defined as the giver of my

lungs, the  whip in my tongue

and the ground on which I stand.

The bones that hold my back strong

and long.

My completer,

my complimenter.

My motivator and my

most valuable posession.

One night I texted my mother,

I told her I knew where I was

going in life and the tears rolled down our

faces at the same time.

Our faces, so much alike

in complextion and completion.

When I was 6 months old,

my mother told me she'd build me an empire,

and although it never got finished I walk through it's unpainted walls,

and holey floors and I pray and I pray.

To live without my mother,

is tree without seed,

is chicken without egg,

or guppy without fish.

And one can be without the other,

they'll just be incredibly

Lost.
