Image SourceI see your condescending look When you see I'm still childless at thirtyI see the pity in your eyes When you are quick to judge
I may decide to have a child or I may notI may be fighting my own battles Or I may be childless by choice But your opinion is the last thing I need
Next time you ply me with details of your offspringPlease know that I'm only being polite When I listen to things that I can't relate to That makes me want to stifle a yawn or two
Sure, it's a miracle of life that you created That doesn't mean I have to agree Rather than creating miniature versions of youMake them better, best versions
Give them the freedom to think Of their own without imposing your thoughtsGuide them, but don't stifle What does she know, she's not a mother
I can almost hear you think Well, it doesn't matter, does it?Just like how I never asked for your opinion, Yet you still gave me yours
