I can’t write poetry anymore
And it’s not because I don’t want too
It’s because i can’t
I used to be able to write for hours
But what once fuelled me
Doesn’t anymore
See I used to write when my heart was breaking
Or when my soul felt heavy
But I haven’t felt that way in such a long time
Because I’m finally complete
I’m finally happy
After years of looking after everyone but myself
I now look after myself above anyone
But only with one exception
My dear sweet child
If only you knew
That the second I knew I had you
All my fears would leave
All my heartbreak healed
They say motherhood is hard
I say it can’t be
Loving you is easy
Watching you grow is magic
Learning about the world with you is inspiring
But in a whole different way
I can’t imagine who I’d be without you
