Wholehearted Embrace

-

Claustrophobic she felt,

And badly wanted to run away.

Alas, she couldn’t do,

As she was stuck within.

 

Worried for her life she was,

But more about her mother,

A passionate woman who lived for her,

Only for her.

 

Gathering courage she spoke,

“Mom, I don’t feel ok.

My soul feel trapped,

In my body and mind,

I feel suffocated,

When draping a saree”.

 

With several unanswered questions,

As her mom just looked at her,

She held mom’s hands to her face and said,

“Mom, I am a transman”.

 

Moments of silence transpired 

Like eras at that time.

An eruption followed,

Not volcanic but of love.

 

Her mom took her in a tight embrace,

“I live for you my child,

If this is what that defines you,

Then I too will embrace my dear SON”.

Tears of happiness and acceptance,

Released him from the mental chains.
