I am a Mother,
a teenager,
a daughter,
a student-
my most important job
always comes down to
being a Mother-
soothing you with calm words,
taking care of you-
hushing your cries
with my shoulder,
feeding you every
three to four hours,
cuddling you on my chest
as you snooze away,
changing those stinky diapers
and the wet ones as well,
rotating your clothes
a few times a day,
wiping you down as a bath
every single night,
then rubbing lotion in relaxed
circles all over your body,
reminding you that I'll
always be here for you,
telling you how gorgeous
and amazing you are,
making sure you're happy
and satisfied so I can
keep my own peace-
I'm going to school
to give you a better future
because every single step I take
revolves back to you,
you're the only person who
truly matters in my heart.
Author notes
It's not a great piece, it may not even be good in your eyes, BUT I'm experiencing the new life of being a Mother, and this is everything that sums up my experience so far. So although this piece is not great it does have sentimental value. I just wish my vocabulary was more expanded!

I know a few young mothers, but I could really never understand what they have had to go through. Your poem made me understand much better the responsibilities a young woman has to go through when becoming a teenage mother.
I am glad I have read this poem and I think you are a very strong, talented person to be able to effectively write about such a delicate subject.
Great job, and wonderful poem.
