GESTATIONAL

I shouldn't be this sad...

Or should I?

It shouldn't be this bad.

I should be feeling light.

Right?...

I should be feeling light,

and today should be a little more bright!

... Right?...

I should, then, be looking up

to feel the sunlight on my forehead.

But, the dark room brings the comfort of a mother,

while the covers wrap me tight in the womb of my bed.
