Destined to be mother.
Act like mother,
Cry like mother,
Care like mother,
so, Mother I am.
There will be eggs that will never be hatched,
Eggs that will never be hailey, daisy or kaley.
Eggs that will never be hugh, blue or you.
Caring for others like I am their mother,
Loving them like the mother they never had,
With nobody to truely love me back.
So I will bury it,
With the dead eggs I carry and womb that bleeds with no purpose.
Mother is something I am and something I will never be.
About this poem
It’s about infertility, how some women are born with a ‘defective’ womb and cannot conceive and the burden that is carried with it. For me personally, it is about behaving and caring as a mother but not having a child, not having somebody to love you back.
