Unseen
I have always been, Unseen unless needed....
Especially as a teen and young person...
In my mind, parents really desire to have children...that are perfect...
The context...humans have had the desire to make their progeny better...
Never really think about the pressure asserted mentally...
The hormones, prefrontal cortex not fully developed, while searching for individuality...
Sometimes, this comes with resentment...
Because, fear is as powerful as peer pressure...
Mentally fighting within, what if I, your child, can't live up to your standards???
Will you still love me???
Or is your love conditional, a transaction...
Based on how I perform???
Feeling like a trained seal more than child development.
Misunderstood, unseen, now acting out...why?
In this world of constant competition...needing to hear...I am proud of you..
I am on your side...love you..
The real expectations, become better today, than yesterday..
Grow, flourish, own your mistakes and be accountable..
Remember, young ones...parents are flawed humans....
We pour into our children, hoping to ease the struggles...
We see your greatness from birth...wishing to uplift all of you..
Yet, the best of us know...
Mistakes, are unfortunately the best instructors
Experience, my Mummy said, is a hard task master...
Life brings challenges, misunderstandings....
Which is why we have to have uncomfortable conversations..
Some tears and elevated voices will happen...
Doesn't mean, parents don't love their children...
Please understand, we are not only managing the kids...
We are attending to careers, businesses, spouses and life...
Sometimes we are just overwhelmed...
A confession, lots of Parents, don't feel equipped or adequate to rear kids...
Please forgive us!!!
Lyrically yours,
MydNite Renaissance ❤️🩹
