Poems from a deranged, sleep deprived muma. Trying to make sense of a world that seems to be falling through my fingers.

(Expressing thoughts in moments of dispair, it’s not always roses)

P.S I’m loving being a mum, I’m completely ok!

New mother emerging - Postpartum blues
When I dreamt of becoming a mother, the dream was a beautiful, soft and … perhaps an easier time? Reality is that motherhood is brutal. A coming of age. It’s breaking you down and building you up.

Where’s dad?
I see. No support. No rapour. Emotionally exhausted. Tired mother. Unsupported. Is what I see. He sees. Nagging. Annoying. Incompetence.

Sleepless nights
Laughter. Boo. I’m going to scare you. Little footsteps. Pitter patter. Come closer. I’ll get you. They run. they laugh. and jump into your arms.

Postpartum
Postpartum. More like. Post war. Defeated. Destruction. Exhaustion. Depression. Recoop. Your. Thoughts. You. Will. Be. OKAY.

The Wild West
When I think of the word home, I can’t say that I picture any one place. All I see is my country, Australia. I am Indigenous Australian, from the Gundungara Nation in the Blue Mountains. I have a strong connection to my Aboriginality.

Riddle me, Riddle me
Waiting alone in a sitting room that I had been ushered too by the butler, building the courage up to approach the man who was supposedly my father. It was 1820, a year of great change for many people and, well for me, it was about to change drastically.
