Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHBIJKLMNOPBCF QRIIFSTUUTUFBAIBBTVI IABI thought no one could hate me more than myself | A |
But I forgot I had my mother | B |
So now I ve made six flashcards for the most ever occurring moods of hers | C |
One is when she curses the day I was born | D |
Two is for the times she laments my existence | E |
Third is for days I forget to look as fair as and as healthy I m supposed to be | F |
Fourth is because sometimes I lose But sorry ma I swear I tried | G |
Fifth is for days she reminds me how I ruined her life I apologize that I m responsible for your life choices | H |
And last for days when I expect anything out of her | B |
All these flashcards are color coded | I |
Magenta Turquoise Arsenic Neon Peacock and Death | J |
With solutions to each mood written as follows | K |
Don t react let the storm pass you don t want to hurt her she doesn t realize what she s saying | L |
Remember what all the authors talked about loving Loving in sunshine and loving in hurricane | M |
But I think I need some more cards now | N |
Maybe of color Teal Ash and Cray | O |
Because suddenly these flashcards stopped working after years | P |
Since the last two years I fight back and hurt myself more than I hurt her | B |
While asking for answers | C |
Is it my fault that I can t love conventionally | F |
Is it my fault that I suffered individual trauma you refuse to acknowledge | Q |
Is it my fault that I feel empathy for people other than you That doesn t make me feel any less for you ma | R |
Is it my fault that I am in perpetual pain Maybe it s inside my head but does that make it any less vaild | I |
I ll probably need a blank flashcard too | I |
Because most of the times I don t understand why she hates me | F |
Maybe because I refuse to carry the generations of trauma | S |
Women have been carrying as burdens on their souls | T |
Maybe because I refuse to blame her for her own oppression | U |
But also refuse to pass on this toxicity to a further generation | U |
Because I am not like the Shabanas and the Jyotis | T |
Who accept oppression as fate and think of respect as an obligation | U |
Or because I m a child hated by destiny | F |
Who can ever love a person not loved by her mother | B |
She hates me because maybe I m the whole universe stored in myself | A |
And I refuse to be apologetic about it | I |
Because I refuse to act like a good daughter | B |
And you see maybe I m actually not a good daughter | B |
Because at the end my mother is like a colorfully designed bokeh on my camera lens | T |
And irrespective of how much I try | V |
Every pattern every landscape every picture is captured with her presence in it | I |
I can t see my universe without seeing what she sees in it | I |
I thought nobody could hate me more than myself | A |
I forgot I had a mother | B |
