I Pride my Solitude
Calm and collected,
Pondering on old memories,
Savoring all gone moments,
I Pride my Solitude…
Clouds pass by,
Reminding the roads never taken,
Making me feel empty,
I Pride my solitude…
I pride my solitude,
Watching as it takes over me,
I face it with arrogance,
For, I Pride my solitude…
I give up! A taboo that society flinches to hear.
I give up! Saying it out loud could be frowned upon.
I give up! Probably, No parent should ever say
I give up! Seen as weakling phrase for a Feminist
I give up! Could be judged as an easy way out.
Sometimes, Life can get tiring
Mustering all the strength, all that could be said is “I give up”
A disappointment to one's parents
An irresponsible act towards family
A failure, lacking the fighting spirit
Blindsided with negatives...
Sometimes, It’s just too much to even stand back up
All is been done...
Everything has been tried
Yet, no way to fill the void
A disappointment....
A failure....
SOMETIMES, IT'S JUST THAT.
Mothers are the best forever and ever,,, Amen
I had always wondered, “Why such a fuss about motherhood? It is just their responsibility.” Or so many of us think and take her unconditional love for granted. But sit back and think as I did, “Has your mother hurt you anytime, hasn’t she always turned back and smiled at you even you hurt her again and again?” Tears rolling down answered me.
She is loving, kind and always forgiving. She had conceived, birthed and loved you. Yes, she was always correcting, only because she wanted you to become what you are now. Aren’t you now a fine young lady/gentleman with finesse etiquettes, a loving spouse who can be abided on, a devoted mother with unconditional love? To make you one like this the sacrifices she had made, humiliation she had underwent is enormous.
Yes, she would have annoyed you but never hurt you. Did she have problems with your friends back then? She was only protecting you. Think back, your days as a teenager, you would have thrown your maximum tantrums to your mother than anyone else. She was patient. She hugged you when you failed, she kissed you on your tears, and she guarded you when someone pointed at you.
A ruffian, thief or a murderer, to his mother he remains a child whom she had conceived, birthed and held so lovingly on her hands when they were born. Mothers are the only souls who earnestly pray for their children’s forgiveness no matter the depth of their sins. She can never tolerate any harm on us.
If any ONE of your answer is YES for these questions, take time out on your busy schedule, take her outside, buy her a cup of coffee, and just listen to her. That’s all she wants from you for all above mentioned sacrifices she had made for you.
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
