It’s not easy for mums to get spare me-time. But whenever I do get it, I make its best use via blogging, trying new recipes and writing poems. Yes, I do write poems and honestly, that’s one of my best ways to overcome my depression or anxiety attacks.;


Today one such poem struck me when I was putting my daughter to sleep. This one is dedicated to all the moms out there but especially to the new mums. Who battle every day to ensure their child is safe and healthy.


So, without much ado, here’s my piece.


You’re Not Alone!


Dear New Mum,



If you feel depressed, sad or anxious,

Know that you’re not alone.



If you feel you’re exhausted and sleep-deprived,

Know that you’re not alone.



If you feel numb or alone,

Or just want to burst out in sobs,

Know that you’re not alone.



If you feel your life has almost ended,

With changing diapers and feeding alone on the bed,

Know that you’re not alone.



If you feel isolated, in spite of everyone around,

If you miss your pre-mom days,

When you could easily hop along,

Know that you’re not alone.



If you feel deprived of gobbling an entire pizza,

If you feel irritated with the slightest sounds,

If you feel helpless with your baby always crying,

If you feel hopeless thinking if you’re a good mother or not,

Know that you’re not alone.



You have been allotted to the best job in the world,

You have grown a baby in you and almost gave your life to bring him in the world,



You have waited for all through for this day,

You have fought battles that you once thought that you would give away.



You have emerged as powerful and stronger,

Because you’re one brave warrior.



A warrior who didn’t give up in spite of all the sickness,

A warrior who fed her baby while she bleeding herself,

A warrior who didn’t let her fears inhibit her strength,

A warrior who’s known as a mother by name.



You Are One Strong Mother,

A Blessing And An Honour!



So, ladies, that was it! I honestly don’t know if the poem was good enough with its beginning and conclusion. But I just went through my thoughts and poured down everything by words.
