Right of Passage
Burying my emotions
deep in the womb
of uncertainty and pressure,
a rite of passage to womanhood;
waddle through with a smile
make everyone believe, that
all is well, all is well.

Time fly swiftly they say
happiness is motherhood
delight in the distress,
how fulfilling to be depended on;
to shelter and love a bump
feel the quickening of life, saying
all is well, all is well.

How terrible to feel no joy
to helplessly accept my fate
overflowing with anxiety,
to unwrap my precious gift;
nature take a life for a life
with the odds against me, but
all is well, all is well.

The sound of my heart beat
in the room of labour
a burden of fear lifted,
I did it! through tears and blood;
succumbing to peaceful oblivion
a sharp cry assures me
all is well, all is well.
