Mum Forgets
– By Christine Murrain
She forgets to be polite
Timid, or shy
She dances in public spaces
For no longer must she lie
Her true form shocks us
As she demands her desires

Mum forgets to be quiet,
For she boldly inspires
To grieve who she was
Is to miss out on who she is
And without hesitation,
My mum still lives
Mum forgets your name
I pray she forgets her pain
She moves through this world with ease
And lives life despite disease
