The “not so perfect” mom

#notsoperfect

Oh I am such a mess
I am so tired..
Am I even a mom?

I do not always understand why you are crying..
And sometimes even I fail to stop those tears and tantrums..

Oh.. am I even a mom?

I do get tired of the same routine..
and wish for those me moments
With the topping of that constant guilt!!

Ahh.. am I at all a good mom?

I get angry, I lose patience...
I sometimes let you eat those fries and forget to take you to the loo on time..

Why am I not like other moms?
The moms who appear in books, movies in the selfish world
Where the mom is perfect and knows it all
She sacrifices and sacrifices and still smiles

She cries and feels guilty all the time

Yes, I am not that mom
I am not perfect, I choose to be messy
I choose to avoid the ride of guilt

I am not in the race to be the super mom
Instead let me be the “human” mom...

Just let me be that “not so perfect” mom!!

I call it "You"!

Sometimes I scribble Sometimes I play with words,   They call it a poem, I call it “you”! Sometimes I doodle Sometimes I color, They call it a painting, I call it "you"!   Sometimes I smile Sometimes I cry,   They call it emotion, I call it “you”!   Sometimes I talk, a lot Sometimes, I am quiet, awfully though,   They call it moods, I call it “you”!   Sometimes I scribble Sometimes I play with words,   They call it a poem, I call it “you”!!

What say? Just You and I for a While?

 Let us go for a walk Leaving our phones behind.. Just you and I, And just for a while... While we are out, Let us talk about anything and everything... I will talk about the moon and you about your cricket! For a change you talk and I do the listening, Just for a while!! Let us escape to a world we fantasized when we weren't together, Holding hands, walk in the rain... talk and giggle... A soft touch to make me blush... Just you and I for a while! Let us be just you and I for a while, And then we can come back home and worry about the mess, the dinner, the chores... And be all the versions that we have become... But for a while, just be you and I What say? Just You and I for a while?

The "user manual" of being a girl!

Being a girl, was her choice. She is sure she fought with the lord to be born, Most of them on earth still prefer the other chromosome... Wasn’t aware so many experiences would await in the planet earth, Never thought there is a “user manual” for being a girl... The society tells us what to do, what not to what to wear and what not to what and how to say, sit, walk, sleep and how not to... The list is extensive, but don’t worry, The ‘user manual’ has covered it all... The society did a splendid job to keep it warm, And many added extra pages by being or finding the so called ‘good girl’... Then the time comes when the girl becomes a woman, and meets some pseudo feminists ... From outside educated and civilized, They promise they don’t follow the manual, Alas! they do, just with some conditions applied... She saw new pages getting added This time hypocrisy was to be blamed... ‘you can wear whatever you want, just not in front of the elders. you can do whatever you want, just that th...
