Non-bio Mom
I am tired of ASKING
for something that should already belong to me,
Crawling on my belly like an abused and habitually beat puppy that keeps begging for love.
I have evolved.
I am a LIONESS
In this pink and red sunset, in THIS desert I am the queen.
You are now in MY domain and I rule everything
My reason to shine was born 11/13/12 at 3:14
And that is the day my silence ceased.
I do not speak...I roar.
My lungs are a pump action in weapon
I do not ask for understanding I ENFORCE it.
You can tell me that...legally...I am not his mother...and then you should get the hell away from me because, trust me, the last place you want to be is between a lioness and her baby.
You can remove my eyes and I will still be able to find him in the dark.
I know his heart beat better than my favorite song.
My fingerprints rearranged themselves so they could memorize the planes his face.
His voice has a direct line to my soul..if he cries I will KNOW.
And I will run for days...miles...uphill...downhill.. through sand..snow...rainforest....desert.. .
Because I am a lioness..I am the sun....I AM the sand...and it is my job to guide each one of his footprints along my back
His voice rings in everything and I will follow it until my broken body can go no more.
Then...I will send a message...a morse code with my last heart beats on the wind so he knows that even though I didn't give birth to him...
I have lived for him...and would gladly die for him.
