Nobody said motherhood would be this tough
Nobody said all they would do is cry
And cry
And whine
And test me
I can’t do it
I try
I try
But I can’t
They never shut up
They don’t stop crying
They don’t listen to me
Why did I have to be pregnant
Why did it have to be twins!
Why
I cannot do it
I did it the first time
I told him
I told him
Told him not again
And the older one
The older
All he does is talk
Talk
None stop talking
Calling me all the time
Telling me everything
I do not need to know
I don’t care
You have to believe me
That was the only solution
That was the way I could get peace
The only way I could get myself
Discover me
I had to kill them
They were choking me
Killing me
It was either me or them
I couldn’t do it anymore
