canthus umbilicus

From the fetus you carried for 9 months, the baby who sucked your breasts every 30 minutes for the first year her life, the irresponsible sweeper of your wallet contents, the official "pee" person on your bedsheets before her toilet training, and the person on the other side of the umbilical cord, Happy Mother's Day.

-This is what I wrote a year ago. Thank you for pampering me inside your womb. Now, I've witnessed for myself how hard it is for mothers to labor their asses in the delivery room just to get these hard-headed babies out (Then one day little Jhonny would just be convicted for murder....)Such a traumatic experience. Now I wonder what you think of me... am I worth it?
