Rocks fall on my brain, being a student and mother.
I wonder if I will ever graduate, I feel lost sometimes.
My mother is insane, she thinks you deserve a brother.
How can she say that? I cannot deal with myself at times.
Studying peacefully can only be done at the library.
I wish I could bring you with me to my school,
but unfortunately, it’s not allowed. I never feel ready
like before; I worry more about you, it would be cruel
of me to leave you alone at home so I could come to class.
Despite the fog in my mind, I aim for a balance
between motherhood and education. Broken glass
is what I don’t want to feel like, I know it’s a challenge
to be a mother and a student, but that’s no reason to quit.
I need to get that degree. I want to inspire you to have grit.
