Mother
Lifegiver
I resent the scarf upon your head
I seethe at the hands that taught you its weight was freedom, and not a burden
I loathe those who are angry at the scarf also
For they are no different
They too would drape you in a world of their own making, and call it yours
Im angry at myself also
For feeling angry
I am angry at everything at all times
Vessel carrier
Wouldnt it be fitting for you to end what you started
Or is it too late
If you knew what i carried with me at all times
If you werent burdened by guilt, by the seedgiver and his forecomers
By the shadow of Mumeet
Would you have chosen otherwise
And relieved me
And us
I want to believe you would
But i fear you might not
And you might like
How the noose around your neck
Irritates your pale skin
