Don't you need some quiet?
Sure, I would if I could.
But all I can have is me rattling by losing my hearing ability with my kids' yelling.
Don't you need a breather?
Sure, I would if I could.
But all I can have is me always losing my breath chasing the kids like it was doomsday.
Don't you need that glass of wine?
Sure, I would if I could.
But all I can have is me losing my brains after a billion cups of black coffee to beat the anarchy blues my kids give me everytime I want them to follow.
Don't you need a holiday?
Sure, I would if I could.
But all I can have is me losing my fun in the monotony of being a mom everywhere I go.
Don't you need a life?
Sure, I would if I could.
But all I can have is me killing every small and big desire or yearning to make my kids happy.
Don't you need a magic wand to make it all go away?
HELL NO!
I didn't even know how much I could gain before motherhood
I owe the smile on my face to it
I owe the strength I feel in my core to it
I owe the emergance of vast confidence in my heart to it
I owe the newly found beauty I see in myself that I never knew I had
I owe the immense love I have grown inside of me to it
As hard as it may be
I owe my life to motherhood and I wouldn't change it even if I could.
