Ease, Don'T Carve Me Into Stone

Shortening my breath everyday
Ease, don't carve me into stone
I'm not quiet ready
These insecurities in me, 
I swear there killing me
So please don't judge me
Just give me a minute
Time to reflect
On the things I've done
All I regret
Please don't set me into this mould yet

I see this eternity as a catastrophe
A never ending cycle of hurt
Constantly seeking me out
Chipping away at my head, pulling at my scalp

Ease, don't carve me into stone I beg
I'm not sure if I can do it
Loose myself to something as this
I felt the flutter
A butterfly under the skin
This decision will determine everything

But a life as this in my hands
With all the bad things I 've done
How can I decide the fate of a human
As I'll never be particular in weather 
you should have tea for breakfast or cider
Eating pudding before your food hasn't been a problem for me
I have no right in saying what's best for this life
I'm a dribbling mess most of the time
Why do people not take these things into consideration
before reproducing

This act could determine all of eternity
Like a spider web deciding how many birds will hatch
Everything is connected
This child could be, when it's grown inside of me
The balance between good and evil
As thoughts of responsibility consume me
And motherhood looms
Ease don't carve me into stone
Don't know if I'll make it alone

In reading again I am even more impressed. As a parent I think we all have doubts yet we do all we can. Doubt and fear are components yet they are transcended by the hope and joy that we see in our childs eyes. Children have the ability to turn us into the best version of ourselves. They also connect us to our inner child. If you have a chance read my latest poem, I think you might enjoy it.

My son is not my own blood but he is no less my son. He is still the very best part of me. Whatever the future holds I hope that you choose parenthood in whatever form is available to you.

I will read it when I have a minute and thank you again for commenting. I cannot have children naturally as you would gather from my poem I'm Sorry but I have been pregnant. I'm currently under going IVF so we shall see what the future holds this time.
