How would it be?
Why mom, Why?
How would it be; When I see you
On a trip? Or while a fight;
Winking an eye; or hiding in tight!
Would my dream ever come true?
.
How would it be; To hold your hand
Butterfly in eyes, spark in the sky
My heart on fire, not gonna lie
Would I ever step on your land?
.
How would it be; To wear your coat
Your veiny hand, the drops of rain
Expression of umbrella took all my pain
Would I ever get your smile to Quote?
.
[Water splashed on my face]
|| Mom:
"How would it be; To get up from your dream"
[Goshhh]
Okaay...
Sorry, I forgot... I was just a teen
All influenced by a movie I'd seen
Sometimes imaginations can be extreme!

It could be funny and rough at the same time. I just had to upload this "useless" idea of mine
Thank you for sticking with my strange journey <3

Huge congratulations on snagging second place for the most supportive comments this week! That's an awesome achievement! 🎉
This is a beautiful exploration of a child's longing for their absent mother. The contrast between the idealized image of the mother and the harsh reality of her absence is effectively captured. The final twist, where the mother interrupts the dream, adds a touch of humor and self-awareness.
Haha, this is so fun and dreamy! That playful twist at the end? Absolute perfection! We've all had those wild movie-inspired daydreams, and this captures that teen vibe so perfectly. Loved it! Sweetie 🤗💖
