At the doctors
waiting to be seen
an hour has passed
and still no GP
I take a deep breath
what’s gonna happen next
it’s unpredictable
but understandable
my love is unconditional
life can be a struggle
don’t be so Judge mental
my baby is extra special
feeling confused
patients are wearing
tension is rising
with tears in his eyes
look at that brat
he needs a good smack
I can feel your stares
as you continue to glare
he don’t need discipline
despite your opinion
you don’t offend me
anymore
I get the same
at the grocery store
I still pick my baby up
off the floor
try and comfort him
a little more
As he screams and shouts
confused and upset
pinches and bits
My child
Your alright
Why do you cry
With those tears in your eyes
I give him a kiss
As I softly speak
It’s ok
Tomorrow will be
A better day
