Post-partum
Society taught me to be silent Be super woman We earned this Why do I feel like I need a tribe? But the "shoulds" float around in my mind I should do more I shouldn't complain I should be stronger I shouldn't rest I feel weak Physically But mostly mentally. About to crack and break On the brink of giving up Society told me that I should take it all on So I pile on the guilt The emotional burden The physical trauma The deep disconnection between my past and present self. Six weeks is all it takes To heal the gaping bloody wound inside But why aren't we looking at Measuring! the invisible Intangible Inconceivable And so abrupt transition into that which we call motherhood?
