Postpartum

April 25, 2013

It's been months
since my body has been just me
Eating for two
Providing for one
A baby girl on the way

The day has come
my stomach full
ready to love
the baby girl here to stay

The pain is gone
the girl is out
she snores lightly
with my baby girl I lay

She cries at night
I shut my ears
and ignore her yells
why do I not love her
why do I push my baby girl away?

Many women are affected by Postpartum Depression after child birth and some do not feel comfortable enough to share that they feel that way with the rest of society. This inhibits them from seeking help and furthering their condition.
