A younger version of me in my mothers arms
“I am my mother’s child”
A phrase often used to empower
But for me
It’s a reminder
A reminder of who I can be
What I’m capable of
How I laugh
What I feel
Even how I look
Sometimes it scares me
But other days
it brings me hope
I wonder if my mother thinks the same about her mother
And if I were to have kids
Would they think the same about me
I am my mother’s child
