Being mother is weird

Being mother is weird

I forget how I used to think, how I used to be before I become one

When my baby’s sick, I felt like my whole body is not functioned normally

The guilt is creeping up all over my body

When my baby sleep through the night in fever and hard to breath

I feel guilty because I can sleep and breath as usual

As if I could choose, I will take all the pain

Just like my mother used to say when I was a kid

I didn’t understand all of it until I become one

Being mother is weird

For the first time in my life, I feel guilty for breathing

I feel guilty for being healthy

I feel guilty for having an appetite

I feel guilty for everything I did normally

Being mother is weird

Your world turned into that little human you called your child

When she’s all happy and healthy, you feel it too

When she’s laughing, you feel like your heart could explode caused by happiness

When she’s sick, you fall apart, you feel like you could do better as a mother

Being mother is weird

Guess I’m still learning to accept it

To get used to this weirdness
