Strutting

Khalid Mukhtar · March 22, 2022 · 2 Comments

You’re confident and sure
Assuming airs so pure
You see yourself unquestionably blessed

But here’s your mother gasping
In the rain you’re sending down
Of dagger words that pierce her weary chest

Now she can suffer daggers
And even cuts of swords
As long as she can see you through the rain

The question dear khalid
Is how will you survive
The Day you’ll need her loving touch again
