Liz Vad Poet Rhyme

Mom Blues

Rattle rattle rattle
As I go through my own battles 
I look at the child in front of me
Playing with his rattle so carelessly
He is smiling mad rocking back and forth 
His hair is brown and long 
Yet I don't feel like I belong
Who's child is this i ask? 
He looks like me but he doesn't feel like mine
I don't know why but I am so lonely
This child seems so distant from me
We never bonded as far as I can tell 

So I still ask? 
Who is he? Certainly not mine
He called me mama
My mind races bc of this drama
My mind is telling me it's true 
But my heart is so confused 
How could this be? 
He feels like an alien 
I don't want to feel like this anymore
He starts to cry and roars
I go over to him and see what I can do
But I'm so frustrated 
My husband comes home and I'm so elated
I don't have to spend time alone w that one
Still I ask
Who is this child? Certainly not mine
