Grandma’s perfume.

Grandma knew what was before me
Even though she could clearly see
My flaws that came buckets full,
She saw me as beautiful .

Kaka could make it rain
As long as it would take my pain.
Once she had made me promise that I would fight
Through it all until I become light .

“ your stomach isn’t made for food alone “ she had written
To tame my rage when it had once bitten .
When she prayed , there came answers that shone
Just Like the enigmatic scent of her that remains even though she has been long gone.

“What is black is black ; same goes with white,
Know the truth “she said , “ you cannot always be right “
She left before I wanted her to leave
Even though I wrapped my heart around her sleeve .
