The Journey To Mama

It’s common to be pregnant

Common to give birth

Rare to find peace in these times

with your own self worth

So when you finally pass the first trimester

past the days of the unknown

You breathe a sweet sigh of relief

‘I’m making my pepe grow’

And you feel this moment each time

you tell someone of the exciting news

Yet from joyfulness and clarity,

self doubt quickly ensues

Because questions, so many questions

even more you ask yourself

And you think I’m sure I’ll be ok

doesn’t everyone figure it out?
