Opened my eyes,

I was young,

So tiny,

So innocent

Not knowing anything about the world,

I dream and I tell her what I want to be,

She says she’ll do whatever to make me succeed.

I think the world’s beautiful so full of wonders,

I hope to see one day,

I feel and hear her but yet haven’t seen her,

I cry I want to see the world,

But she makes me understand,

Makes me think,

It’s far too expensive dear

She says,

I scream and I curse her,

I say I hate her but I never heard her cry,

I ask her what the world looks like and she makes me imagine,

I imagine that it’s a wonderful place.

One day she took me away somewhere,

Someone made my head ache,

My eyes hurt,

Then they said open your eyes,

I opened my eyes slowly,

Everything was so strange

So blurry and then I see her

She looked beautiful but her eyes were bandaged,

Then I understood she gave me her eyes to see,

I opened my eyes to see my mother blind,

I looked at the world,

After sometime,

I see it is not the place I imagined,

Was it worth the sacrifice?

Oh mother I love you,

How could I  have ever said I hated you,

You my mother,

 Opened my eyes…
