Only a Mother

Only a mother with a daughter
Can truly understand her heart.

Mom… everything you told me
When I was little —
It was true.
People are not always
As beautiful as they seem.

It is hard to know them.
Even behind smiles and gentle words,
Love is often only a mask,
And hurt hides in silence.

In this world,
There is only one mother like mine.
And in this difficult time,
It is you I long for most.

Mom, only a mother
Can understand a daughter.
Every unspoken feeling,
Every hidden ache,
A daughter’s soul
Lives inside her mother.

Wait for me, Mom —
For only you,
Only a mother,
Can truly understand.
