NPE

Non-parental event

In shadows cast by life's design,

A secret harbored concealed in time.

My mother's truth taken to the grave,

Secrets whispered to silent waves.

I am her forbidden mystery,

A fragment of taboo history.

Conceived in silence, a stranger’s embrace,

A tryst unspoken, woven in space.

In tangled threads of life's tapestry,

I find my soul’s complexity.

Not family blood that flows within,

But a blend of choices, a web of sin.

A hidden lineage, a bond unknown,

A silent journey from which I've grown.

I keep no secrets, will not be bound,

By truths unspoken, yet profound.

An echo of the past, I stand,

A drop of water, the ripples expand.

My mother's gift, both burden & boon,

This secret sings a mournful tune.

I am the fruit of hidden grace,

The jewel created in a veiled embrace.

Her secret's shadow & my mother’s wrath,

In her depths, I find a path.

Generations of pain, woven through years,

Her own mother’s secrets & unspoken fears.

Concealed in her womb, patterns repeat

By the weaver of life, the tapestry’s complete.
