Grief is holding me tightly
By it’s teeth
My feet never touch the floor
I tried for so long to find comfort in myself
But instead, I woke up suffocating
My mother is above me
A pillow over my nose
She has a different face
She will never let me go
Grief has become my coddling Mother
Or maybe she has been there all along
M.A.P
