POEM| 12th of November

For others,
it’s just another day

For me,
the 12th of November is;

The day time stood still
The day my world shifted
The day my sugar go bitter


The day I watched my Mum die
The day my life changed forever
The day I will never forge

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments.
