Dear mother, 

as you are reading this,

those curtains up in my room,

flapping free,

proving you that I am free.

Dear mother, 

you need not to worry,

the place I am in now,

is something close,

to a shading tree.

Dear mother, 

you've always cared for me,

but if I were to be guided by you,

for my entire life,

then it's not the life I'd choose to live.

Dear mother, 

when I was a little kid,

your hands will be in mine,

but I am growing up now,

just let me live,

I'll be just fine?

Dear mother,

I don't want to break your heart

lose your affection.

You brought me up to do the right thing,

but this goodbye is the starting,

of a journey towards my new life,

maybe it's not right for you,

but it is for me.
