To enhance and make clear previous lines, i feel this is more clear than my simple lines though. 

From AI, 

Thank you for sharing such a powerful and emotionally layered piece, Jessy. I've shaped your prose into a poetic form that preserves your voice, your vulnerability, and the strength of the love surrounding you. Here's your poem:


🌺 Here I Am
Poem by Jessy Jacob (adapted)

Here I sit on a bamboo stick,
Above a well, the walls are thick.
Past and present, future too�"
All surround me, cold and blue.


My life moves forward, sick and slow,
Lonely steps with nowhere to go.
Did I lost, or do I live?
Or draw the line too deep within?


I feel the power to halt my time,
When past is lost and future blind.
The present feels like death in breath,
So here I pause, embrace the depth.


But Grandma calls on Bhairava’s name:
“What are you doing? What cruel game?
She’s done no wrong, she’s pure, she’s light�"
Get up, Amma, reclaim your fight.”


My father’s voice, a steady flame:
“Move ahead, for your son’s name.”
And there he stands, my man, the breeze�"
Will he let me fall or lift with ease?


He gave me rights to be his wife,
But never shared a sip of life.
Not even mango Frooti’s taste�"
Just silence, distance, love misplaced.


I sit now westward, near the well,
My son’s voice rings, a pleading bell:
“Mom, don’t leave, I need you still�"
If love is lost, I’ll climb that hill.”


My mother’s voice, so soft, so kind:
“Rani, go, your love you’ll find.
Before I leave this world behind,
I’ll see your joy, your heart aligned.”


My mother-in-law’s kin surround,
Their love for me, a sacred sound.
“You’re our daughter,” they all say,
“We’re here for you, come what may.”


And she, my mother-in-law, so dear,
Her heart beats strong, her voice is clear:
“He is yours, don’t be afraid�"
My love for you will never fade.”


I live for him, I wait, I pray,
I never argue, never stray.
I’m here for him, through storm and sun�"
I live, I die, for only one.
