Thank you for sharing this Sammi. "Writing became a way to take the unsaid, the pain, out of my body and place it on the page, where it could find air, space to breathe, and a voice to release — toward love and freedom." -- YES!
You are a very powerful poet, Sammi. A mother that withholds her love from her daughter, always punishing her in a certain way for her very existence, carves out a vast void that is hard to fill. I know this. How wonderful that your son arrived with stars in his eyes. He came to love and help heal you.
There is so much here, Sammi. So much space for the reader to find themselves in the poem. I’m grateful that you wrote this and had the courage to share it.
