i dreamed of bacon
and soft white steamed seafood dumplings for breakfast
and a friend I once knew.
she showed care
and love.
i trusted.
mother said
never trust strangers
but strangers I did trust.
mother said
never listen to wolves
but to a wolf, I listened.
shame on me
i should never have listened
to the girl who cried wolf
for she was the wolf herself
dressed up in sheep clothing.
she devoured an innocent little girl
her red cape lying
bloody in the forest deep.
she screamed when it was too late
and rescue never came.
she brought this upon herself
her mother warned
she never listened.
she should have listened.

.. mom probably has faced too many wolves before hence the familiarity—- but we gotta face our own wolves at one point…
…children learn from their experiences albeit hard and excruciating…
…moms protect

Kita mo na ba kung gaano ako kasabaw? Najustify talaga yung name ng blog ko hahaha
Pero kidding aside, isa talaga sa benefits ng pagsusulat ay pwede mong balikan ang mga nangyari, naisip o naramdaman kung naitala mo ang mga ito haha
