Dear Daughters

by M.E. PetersIG:@m.e.petersRead other work by Molly at:GenreUrbanArts.comDear daughters,I hope when you look up at meyou see more than surviving.I hope you can smell gunpowderon my torn open flesh-see the wounds dripping from meand know how hard I foughtto be your mother.I pray you will fight, too,because you are worth the war.Worth should not have to clawout of your bodies and make itself known.Worth should live in the pit of your bellies,festering and felt by you always.You are not here for one reason;you are here for a million.Fight tooth and nail for these if you need to.Do not survive this world, my daughters;conquer it.m.e. peters
