Mom, Give Me My Life Back Poem by Maheshwer Peri

Shake me up, Wake me up,
With that story you made up
Of Angels having arrived
Only to guard me and make my day
Mom, Give me my life back

Make me my best dish
You know it better than I do
Feed me with your own hands
While still telling me that sweet fantasy
Mom, Give me my life back

When I come back from school,
Embrace me, Inspect me from tip to toe
That I am what I was in the morning
When you packed me for a different learning
Mom, Give me my life back

When I am worried, depressed or sick
Take me into your own lap
Treat me to the best medicine
That undiscovered one only you know
Mom, Give me my life back

Make me smile, make me laugh
Take me back to your pure world
Where I only have beauty around
And the beast hides fearful of your love
Mom, Give me my life back
