Motherhood

Gabrielle Serkus

Motherhood, The great gift of life, The endless days of teachable moments, heartache, and rainbows, The questions of how I’m doing as a mom that forever go unanswered, The constant praise from others, But the mental degrading from within, I know I could do better, be better, If you ask my son I Am better, But somehow I feel as if I missed something, could I have given him more, Could I have had it all together and began to give him the life he deserved from the start, I’m still working, it wasn’t how I planned it to be, Frowns, tears, sleepless nights, Turned into smiles when he awakes and sees me there, Hiding all my feelings and constantly showing only the strong side of me, The super hero mom, With the giant cape, imaginative stories, happiness and laughter that fills his air, He doesn't know, I struggle too. Motherhood, it's hard. Motherhood, it’s euphoric, Motherhood, it’s constant worrying, Motherhood is pretending to be a superhero.
