Zoomed in a tad much,
Into this motherhood gig,
The clarity was beginning to blur.
It was time to step back,
Fill up that cup,
Just spend some quality time with her.
I wanted to check on her,
The girl who slipped,
To the bottom of my list.
The one who loved her life,
But was irked at the feeling,
That something was amiss.
So after weeks of dodging the idea,
I decided to take her on a trip.
Not as the wife or the mother.
Just the ‘Me’ that I am, before am any of these!
A debut solo travel,
To a city anew,
Seemed a tiny bit daunting to me,
But exciting too.
I really needed to do this for myself,
Mr., only urged me on.
So off I went on a little adventure,
2 days without my mom-cape on.
Figuring my way around the city,
Tackling some booking issues,
Wandering the streets in solitude,
Soaking in the local views.
Shushing the noises in my head,
Listening to my own thoughts,
Rescheduling plans at my will,
At times opting to just nap it out.
Binge watching into the midnight,
Shopping at my pace, unhurried.
Filling my head space with joy,
Not clouding it up with worry.
Relishing meals in peace,
Visiting places that I please.
I was surprising myself,
At how I felt so much at ease.
Slaying away my initial self doubt,
And inhibitions of being alone.
I truly enjoyed my own company,
Smiled at my confidence, as it shone.
The cup is full to its brim,
The zest is back with a bang.
Am all set to get my act together,
And reunite with my little gang! 💛
