This Motherhood
What an interesting experience,
this so called Motherhood.
An overwhelming flood of emotions.
Emotions that I, a broken human have never felt.
What a fascinating idea,
is Motherhood.
The carrying and caring of a whole innocent.
An innocent that is part of you.
A beautiful creature who holds your eyes.
A little human who has your nose.
(Pun intended)
So helpless and completely reliant upon you.
Their Creator.
How disturbing is this,
This dark cruel world.
A world I have bared myself for.
A universe that only takes.
For which I gave it a child.
A lovely thing,
This Motherhood.
For I know and understand the evils around me.
I no longer fear pain and punishment.
I know a thing or two
about this Motherhood.
The universe could sentence me to lifetime of torture and agony.
I would bare it all to have her happy for a second. A final smile as I am forced away.
It is everything
this thing called Motherhood.

Commenting Preference:
The author encourages honest critique.
Becoming a parent does change the perception and priorities (not one myself but have siblings and friends who have been at that moment).
This verse sounds like words of someone who has been a stripper or nude model or pin up personality:

Like the verse about the child 'holding your nose' - my youngest nephew as a baby had a visually amusing habit of pulling at my sister's lower teeth! I felt I had to remind him he was not a dentist!
