Its about Hormones
Its a girls' fight
Its a girls' fight
everyday, every night
All in the family
between girls. Grown up
and growing up
and growing up
Big girl and not so big girls.
Weird changes in wonder years..
Mindless crush
adrenaline rush
aggression for no reason
surge in sentiment
hunger pangs
mood swings
Lunch box untouched
pile of laundry on bed
school bag stuffed with torn notes
secret diaries of silly posts
frequent bouts of self pity
occasional doubts about paternity.. ..
Blame it all on hormones.
Silly hormones..
those change when
you are growing up
and when you pause growing
Hormones at fourteen
hormones after forty..
Those silly fights
are not about any thing..
Its about hormones
hers and hers and hers.
I am a full time mother and moonlighting into my other creative professions.. I like to spend a lot of my time with my daughters. Its been a roller coaster ride of all elements of fun and fear. I keep trying ways to understand them and help them because I had been a rebel, a fussy eater and very sensitive teenager myself..... all because of these silly HORMONES
Beautiful line. You have written a beautiful poem for the daughters. I want to dedicate a few line from my poem: My dearest Ma
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I hope that you’re fine
How’s papa and bhaiya?
Don’t lie, ma, you never could: I know they’re angry
Tell them that it’s fine; tell them that I’m alright
I read your letter: I don’t know what to say
You’re right, ma, it takes courage to forgive
But no amount of courage could ever make me forget
