When Mothers Fall Out of Love

Lost my freedom!

My spirit

My smile

My laugh

My peace

My joy

My strength

to the man in black

the baby in blue

to another in red

couldn't make sense of all this.

This is why strangers look stressed,

confused, bitter, upset.

Too many screams, not enough money.

And I envied this life?

What was I thinking?

That's right, I wasn't.

God was.

A vessel - all I am is a vessel.

Hold my hand through this maze

of confusion!

Happy mom, sad mom.

Angry wife, peaceful wife.

Hateful friend, loving friend.

Help!

I'm falling out of love with motherhood...
until I see my baby's smile, hear his laugh

People say he looks like me, they offer to help me
then things don't seem as bad as I thought.
