Perfect- A word that scares me because of the weight it carries

A word so complex, that people's perception of perfect varies.

Coz what is perfect for me, may be incorrect for some,

whereas their idea of perfect may look fearsome.

You know what's scarier- the term- PERFECT MOTHERHOOD

Why motherhood has to be perfect, I have never understood.

My love for my little one is perfect

but I do make mistakes

I cherish each moment with my little one

but we both still have bad days

My intention is perfect

but I still miss few things

I have never experienced love more pure

but still on days annoyance seeps

Spending the day with my little one is perfect

but I often dont get time to comb my hair

I wonder why I am not in shape like that perfect mom

Even I though I run around here and there

My motherhood is a blessing

But add 'Perfect' and it gets confusing

I know I do not check all boxes of what should have been

I am a loved, blessed mother, perfect for myself

Let the world not define perfect for me.
