I hate my mom, with everything I have, I really hate her. I hate her so much I really wish every single bad thing upon her.
I hate her because she made my life hell.
I hate her for causing all the nights I cried because it really hurt.
I hate her for not being the mother, I see in my friend's mother.
I hate her for the times I wanted to say I love you to my mother, I wanted to be proud of my mother, but I can't.
I hate her, and I finally know why.
I finally know why after so many years, it still hurt every time she did this. Every time she appeared like the beast I wish she wasn't.
I finally know why I'm crying now, like so many other nights.
It finally dawned on me.
I remember as a child, how much I loved her.
I remember how it had hurt whenever I see her cry, I remember the tears, I cried for the appearance of her tears.
I remember how despite being young and weak, I always bravely thought I would be the heroine to one day protect my mom from every bad person.
I remember too clearly, how when I was young,
I thought I was strong enough to carry groceries that were too heavy for her.
I thought I was strong enough to go through the night with fever and with pain without anyone to take care of me or to just sleep by me, because I thought if I ask her to sleep with me, she would catch on the disease too, and the pain would be so bad for her.
I never cried those nights when I was scared, I never made a fuss, I never blamed her. I remember why I never did: because my mom was the best person on earth.
Because when I was young, the only bad thing that could happen, was any bad thing that happen to my mom.
Somehow I thought she was weak, and I had to be strong to protect her.
Never did I thought she would be strong enough, to cause me these tears, not for an hour, not for a day, but for years.
Mine's really different because every time I quarrel with them, I want to feel really angry, really wronged, but in all honesty, I feel really upset.
Why? I really don't want to look at my friends parents and wish that my parents would someday be like that.
I really don't wanna have to cry, I really don't wanna be mature. I don't wanna be anything.
I just wanna be that girl I was.
I really want my mom to be that best person in this world, and I that lucky girl who was born to protect her.
The person whom I love so much it makes me afraid to lose her.
I'm really tired of telling myself, reminding myself this won't happen.
I'm really tired of having dreams of going overseas just to run away from home.
I'm really tired of telling myself there's nothing to cry for because I already know what my parents are like.
I'm really tired of pretending that I know, because I really don't know.
I don't know is my mother like that.
I don't know how to make her normal.
I don't know how to love her again.
I really want to.
Because I really remember those things, I really remember them.
I didn't use to hate them, I didn't use to blame them, I didn't use to envy others.
I was the luckiest girl on earth.
What happened?
Because I'm crying, these tears, I never thought I had.
