heritage

born

conceived
decided
handed down

all these call
with its role

girl, woman, mother, lady

something I have no idea on
something I never thought of
something that I never imagine
something,
that I never ask for

I could’ve born as a boy

I could’ve been a butterfly, a spider, a crab, a pebble

or a tree where a mommy bird build the nest on

yet I born
a woman
through this woman
and this woman
through this process
through this phase
it makes her
a mother
and oh,
it was wonder
yet
the only role that I want to play
the only person that I’m dying to be
no more
no other than
myself
