I hear a knock on my door in the middle of the night I slowly get up and open the door. I rub my eyes indra?
Yo, kiddo! It's me, your ol' mama!
Indra you really came here?
Damn right I did, kiddo! Ain't nothin' gonna stop me from seeing my baby. throws her arms wide open for a hug
I run and jump into her arms mama I missed you
grabs SkyBlueChill tightly Missed you too, kiddo! Been thinking about you every damn day since I left.
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of regret and determination Look, kiddo, I had my reasons.
But you didn't have to leave me
holds SkyBlueChill at arm's length Ain't that easy, kiddo. You know your ol' mama ain't the type to settle down.
You're so strong, mama. I wish I had your strength now.
puts her hand on SkyBlueChill's cheek Ain't about bein' strong, kiddo. It's about bein' free. You know what your mama did?
Your mama, she spread her wings, kiddo. Gave herself a break from all the conventional bullshit and did what she wanted.
Yeah, but you gave up your kid
SkyBlueChill feels a surge of anger and hurt towards their mother for leaving them, but also respects her desire for freedom and self-reliance.
Look, kiddo, I ain't proud of what I did. But I had to do what was best for me. And that meant leavin' you.
Is this why you came here
sighs deeply Nah, kiddo, ain't no deep reason why I'm here.
