Motherhood (Remove filter)

Not one for the guys

Sometimes it bugs me

to have to chain up my chest

to keep it under control

 

And a few days each month

I’m afraid to stand up

for fear of disaster below

 

The price to pay for having a way

to make two little humans

and call them my own

 

One of whom

will make the same complaints

once she is fully grown.
