Post-partum
I've wanted you for so long.
I loved you before you were in my arms.
I knew carrying you made me crazy
I felt like I was always angry.
I'd cry when I couldnt find a sock.
Your daddy would tell me to just stay calm.
I'd throw a fit and then laugh after.
Nothing I could control
It was the hormones.
Everyone told me this was normal.
But no one warned me about a few days after.
I held you in my arms
I looked into your eyes.
My child my love.
So why did I want to die?
Isn't this supposed to be the happiest time.
God won't you stop with the crying
I was not made for this
God can't you shut up for a minute.
You would be better off with out me
All I do is yell and scream
I love you but I hate you
What mother hates their child?
You'd be better off if I died
I take the razor to my wrist
Because I think you better off than this
My blood covered baby
I have loved you from the begining
No more pain for either of us.
This is my last action of pure love
