Mounting dishes
Mounting laundry
Mounting work
Mounting pressure
Mounting fears
Mounting guilt
Never so many wishes
In such a quandry
Never felt like such a jerk
Need to have a refresher
of how from these tears
confidence was built.
It doesn’t matter how much I feel I’ve conquered and won,
in this battle that’s motherhood, there’s always tons to get done.

How true it all is. It is SO nice to know I’m not the only one feeling this way. Always overwhelmed, always feeling guilty, always “the bad mom”. Deep down we know we’re amazing mothers, but so hard to get to the deep down sometimes.
(Sidenote thank you for the trackback!)
you’re welcome! Actually, after reading your post, it rung true with me, and inspired me to write a poem about it. Sometimes when I’m feeling overwhelmed, I write poetry to get the raw emotions out, and deal with them. It’s much easier to get it out than deal with it on the inside. Thanks for being my muse for the day
Breath my friend.
Right on! Sometimes you can just feel the weight of it all in your psyche.
