The little girl inside of us
She comes out
Late at night
Wearing our mother’s high heels
A feather boa
And lipstick
She makes us cry and laugh
At the same time
She resurrect’s every painful fall
And every hug our Father gave us

We laugh at our falls
And cry at the embrace

Why is it I still see glitter and sparkles
Every time I slide into my mothers
Heels?
Why do I yearn to fall over
And skin my knee
Till it bleeds
And bleeds?

I am so desperate to be young
Wanting to be old
Again.

If I close my eyes
I can
Taste fairy bread
Hear my older sister singing into her deoderant can
See the unicorn picture I proudly painted
Smell my burnt attempt at cookies
And Feel my mothers neck as I snuggle into it before bed

And all it takes to take me back
Is my Mother’s high heel shoes

nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.

I love this poem. I can relate to it so much for when you are old you will do anything to be young and when your young you wish to be old. Thank you for sharing.

that was so incredible.

I am a wilted black rose. Searching for cracks of sunlight, to nurture me. And to help me grow.
