on being a mom
when I'm wandering thru darkness
like i often do
its your face
your smile
your heartbreak
that always leads me thru
little girl innocence
i envy you
a naive ness i wish
i could live through
just one more time
your eyes full of hope
full of discontent
filled will insecurities
you don't understand yet
i know I've let you down
never having appreciated
what i truly had
that one person who will love me
the one I've been searching for all along
but I'm afraid of disappointing you
I'm afraid i wont measure up
terrified of turning you
into a version of me
i see myself in you
in so many ways
your smile that melts others
eyes that cry out
with just a single glance
your attitude
your brilliance
i am a mother afraid to fail
trying hard to be your friend
trying to comprehend
struggling not to bend
