Motherhood is Hard

A mother's life,

is so full of strife.

I know the responsibilities,

perching on my shoulders,

so I try to study and earn,

In-between, and when,

done with household chores.

But the little son comes

with his blaring iPad,

I have misophonia,

noisy sound interrupts me,

I need peace,

for delivering my best.

I am pissed off, I sigh,

anger brews.

If I ask him to go to other room,

he will feel rejected,

may also scratch his eczema skin,

adding to the trouble.

So I close the work I was doing,

and do low-cerebral things,

like photo editing.

Motherhood is lots of,

ifs and buts,

judgment an decision-making,

endless adaptation and resilience.

It's round-the-clock service,

if we are dismissing its importance,

we're committing a vice.

Motherhood is a balance game,

not supporting mothers is shame.
