Please be patient with me at night, Mama.
I know I wake you up often.
I’m still so new here,
and sometimes the quiet feels too big for me,
too dark, too unknown.
I don’t mean to take your sleep away, Mama.
It’s just that your warmth,
your heartbeat,
your arms— they are the only home I know.
with you, the night doesn’t feel so heavy.
with you, the world feels safe.
I don’t yet know how to rest on my own,
so I call for you, Mama,
again and again.
because I need you close,
because you are my comfort,
my safe place,
my whole world.
One day I’ll grow, Mama.
one day I’ll sleep soundly through the night,
and these midnight hours will fade into memory.
but for now,
please be patient with me.
right now, I only know peace when I’m in your arms,
and right now, you are everything I need.
