A mother’s love and other dangerous situations

She flashes a 

determined

gaze

and I realise

way too late,

that I am

very much 

on the wrong

side

of the law.

This strong,

capable and

collected woman

will not

bat en eye

while a certain

bad boy

bleeds to 

death

at the feet

of her precious daughter.

And while many

daughters are,

in fact, fierce

mothers in the

making,

they occasionally 

find themselves 

in the eye

of a very real

storm.

For to truly

fly,

one has to

test your wing

from the highest,

most impossible

peak.

And to do so,

one must

face,

and conquer one’s 

own mother,

that beastly Goddess

who will fight

to the 

death

for us, only to

devour us,

themselves.

For we are

parts of the

same whole,

cut from 

the same

cloth,

yet this 

necessary

separation

breaks both 

our hearts,

when the time 

comes to truly

live, and

soar.
