I wore a bodycon green dress, and my hair was a silky cloak.
Your grandfather planned for a bunny-themed baby shower.
Your father did not say happy birthday to me or give me a flower,
But that did not matter, I wanted to keep my tone happy as I spoke.
People asked me how I felt. I felt marvelous. Then I made a joke
and said that I would make you silent all the time if I had some power
that allowed me to calm you down, but then I said you’re my daughter
and if you wanna cry for no reason, fine, but in the future, don’t smoke
I received diapers, baby clothes, baby bottles, and an elegant cake.
The only thing I did not agree on was having people I never met, attend.
I do not hate them, I just wish I was surrounded more by the people I love.
When I looked at the silky cake, I could tell the person knew how to bake.
What mattered a lot to me was that I did not have to be fake or pretend
to be happy. My smile was not fake, I felt like a beautiful dove.
