you who carried me for nine months.
you who gave birth to me.
stop acting like it isn't worth it.
stop acting like you aren't worth it.
but stop for a moment and think
what you did.
remember how you taught us to think what we had done
when we were old enough to
think for ourselves
and remember the story of the boy
who hit the nails to the fence
and pulled them off when he was nice
and left holes after holes after holes
