Not Lamb Brain Fritters. Top Story - May 2022.
Hello Mum, As May is the month of Mother’s Day, Vocal has a new challenge for writers to conquer. It asks that we write you an open letter and confess to something we never planned to tell you and that got me thinking.

You made me, mama.
hey mama. There must be something you don’t know. I’m racking my brain for some secret I’ve kept hidden in my chest, deep down under the tissue and tucked away behind my heart, in a narrow cavity caving deeper into me than you could ever realize. My bones shelter me, my mind commands my arms to hold me, and my eyes to shut tight and escape the bright light of your acceptance. I wonder if it will wear thin or tire, if you will snap and leave me to trace my steps along my intestines, securing the pathways that my enemies create, leading a winding trail to my head. Everything seems dark sometimes.

My lovely Mother
Today is a special days to honor for the sacrifice you made for us .I know you have been trough a lot to support me and my sister. I will always be grateful to you. I remember those days, I was sick for months , you have decided to let your job and stay home. When I get better, you returned back to work. When I was growing up, you were very strict, you have always wanted the best for us. You learned us how to be strong no matter the circumstance. I was naïve and skeptical. Sometimes I know my behavior affected you. I was not happy the way you control us.

I’m sorry Mommy
Your Mother’s Day has been ripped apart and I will never know how to mend your heart. The secret hell that I was living in now considers you a friend. There are so many things I wish I said before that day. I never wanted you to find out that way. I always will hope and wish for our life to never be like this.

Why I Can't Cry Like The Other Girls
Mom, The only way I can tell you the truth about how you make me feel, is with letters on a page. This way you can't scream at me, cut me off, call me a little shit or an idiot, and wish me ill. This way, you are quiet. This way, you have to hear me.

I’m sorry mom.
Hey mom… I am so sorry I wasn’t the “best kid” in the world. I have done a lot of bad things. I have also said the most heartbreaking things to you and other people in my life. I believe that we all say and do “stupid things” when we are young. But what about the things we didn’t say or wish we did say?
