Being a young mum

Having been told time and time again that I have failed for having children is appalling. The looks I get in public. The comments I get when I growl my children in public. When people roll their eyes at me taking my boys to the supermarket. I'm on my own journey as is everyone else. I have learnt to turn a blind eye to the ones who are blind themselves. Blinded by judgement.

So here's a little poem I've written. Don't laugh haha

Being a young mum

Being a young mother came as a surprise 

Being a young mother is not an easy ride

Having a baby when your just a baby too

Does not mean it is the end for you

Being a young mother meant putting dreams on hold

Being a young mother meant for judgments i'm told

Whether the dreams were big or small

No one can judge you, no one at all

Being a young mother has changed me for good

Being a young mother has changed me as it should

Someone who couldn't care for a thing at all

Is now someone who would come at your call

Being a young mother has taught me a lot of things

Being a young mother has taught me the joy it brings

From teaching my kids the right and wrong way

to when we fight over which song to play

Being a young mother has its ups and downs

Being a young mother as silly as it sounds

Is the best thing that's ever happened to me

It's given me hope to strive to be what I can be.

Being a young mother does not mean i have failed at life

Being a young mother does not mean I have given up strife

If anything being a young mother has given me

It is to be the best young mother my children could see.

Everyone has there own story. Everyone makes mistakes. You cannot judge someone for their past if you have your own dirty secrets. People do make mistakes but it is the ones who learn a lesson from their naive choices and turn it into something you could never imagine. It is people who can make positives out of negatives and build something from nothing. 

Love and light to all you young mums who are having a hard time. There is hope.
