The Echo

I had a vision in which I saw my Mom as my echo.  

If I said to her, 'I want to run away to a far away place where no one knows me, I knew she had the same to say to me.

If I said to her, I want to end all this, commit suicide, she would have the same to say to me.

If I said, I have done so much for you. Come such a long way. She had the same to say to me, for she has indeed come a long way in accepting my lifestyle choices. 

We are two women facing each other, holding hands but looking away from the other, torn between love and beliefs.

I knew whatever move I made, my reflection would simply emulate me. 

The only way to change my reflection is to change me.
