Letter to mama

Why silence when I asked you

When would my painted future move

Designed with colours borrowed 

From the sea and rainbow 


I could still remember the silence 

Thrown at me when I asked 

Why is Dad moody and worried 

Am too young to see the struggles 


I was fed with silence 

When I asked my mama why

She gave me the bread and milk 

When she herself had not eaten 


Or the silence when I asked 

Why old robes, outside is colourful and new

I need new shoes, for my toes ache with complain

Too young to understand but now am sorry 

For making you battle with silence
