Like an extra button in the shirt never to use
she felt being a burden in family as an abuse
smeared by mum shouting and rattling pots
and daddy’s sweat dripping drop by drop.
Against grey colours of her day by day picture
she was waiting for the betterment (in any kind of any rapture).
Waiting is like a slowly pouring sticky caramel cream
to decorate the dessert … to wait is a self esteem!
