As what I believe smacks me in my face,
Knowing that is not the norm.
Nobody will support my need,
To become a mother - stay at home.
I see toddlers fall ill time and again,
From the spread of virus at care centres.
I see myself quitting my high paying career,
In search of a fulfilling job I yearn.
Yet no man can support a family,
Single-handedly without income from the wife.
How can I protect my children if I have,
From the pushing around at child care?
My user told me his daughter picked that up,
The very first day she attended infant care.
My contractor shared with me his observation,
Of children whose mother doesn't stay home.
Stark contrast he told me, in terms of kindness,
Sweetness and innocence of children.
Why manufacture children like machines?
My heart is weeping so deeply,
Irrational yet truly concerned.
A life, I wished I had ended years ago.
