Like Mother Like Daughter
every girl
secretly wishes
to be her mother
but what happens
when she realizes that her mother too has her own fears that remain unconquered
that she too sits in the isolated corner of the bathroom erasing her tears
that she too had her own dreams that were trampled by the society that she was far ahead of
that she too
once upon a time
was the same carefree girl
her daughter is
today
