With Motherhood, comes Judgements
Shakespearean Sonnet
I only care about you being a silky rose.
I don’t care about being a star at this moment.
I only want you to be someone who glows
every day. It’s okay if I look like a rodent.
I don’t want your eyes to turn into clouds that cry.
I ignore my in-laws’ passive-aggressive comments.
They always have something negative to say, I try
my best to keep my tongue still. All this nonsense
about what a good mother should be irritates me.
How am I a bad mom for letting you eat independently?
I don’t plan on limiting you to new experiences, be free!
I would be a bad mom for behaving unrepentantly.
I get judged no matter what I do for you, but it’s fine.
It’s okay, me and you, we will always shine.
