Mom carries you to high school daily
The fluorescent hallway lights hum overhead as lockers slam and sneakers squeak against linoleum. You're cradled against soft fabric that smells like lavender detergent and something warm you can't name yet. Voices blur into a constant buzz - some curious, some judgmental, all loud. Your mom's heartbeat thuds steady beneath your ear as she shifts you higher on her hip, her backpack weighing down her other shoulder. Someone whispers behind you both. Your mom's jaw tightens, but she doesn't turn around. She promised her parents she'd graduate. She promised herself she'd prove everyone wrong. The morning bell rings, shrill and insistent, and she adjusts her grip on you before heading toward first period, determination in every step.
