My body failed

By Marley Henry · 27 July 2022

My body failed So do not tell me, You are stronger than you could ever imagine. I wasn’t made to be a mother. I must have been delusional when I thought I was your safe place. Now I can see that I didn’t belong on the maternity ward. I couldn’t celebrate my start to motherhood in NICU I couldn’t be who my baby needed. How stupid was I to think I would be your everything; Your first home; Your first loving touch. Your warmth Laid against my chest. As I hear you cry for the first time. NOW READ THAT BACKWARDS 🗣🗣🗣

You got me 🥲 @thestoryoftwins
