"When you start to reach the nearest
Star befriend them in your heart-
To reach past their far."
-ashes poetry

My mother how she was telling me to not be a
Fish in the tank, to open up like a confession but
Not/to other fishes, friend them that's all.
She said "My daughter don't be like me, open up to
other people, see me I en friendly, unless
they got a couple of million dollars".

In my head I disagree for her "you are friendly tho
You just don't like talking to people". I say and I tried To tell her same like kids nowadays no longer using Sentence but one word to communicate–
"Same". I replied like jack pot I tried to hit, but miss
My mother shook her head "no you are a friendly girl, I just was born like this". She replied, I know somewhere That one line hit many people a dagger,
When people ask them like a broken record
How did you get like this? Intertwined with life&death but aren't we all, I muse.
what made you like this?
&when did you get this? So many questions to
So many different answers.
My lungs do that thing where they inhale
And I get ready for the lesson, of life talk
I try agin, "mommy I am friendly but I ain't trusty,
and I'm a introvert." Difference. Can you take apart
Those three words like scientists and tell part.
Again with simple words nowadays,
But I don't think butterflies were exactly social,
They were of course caterpillars at once right?
