Finding my way through
The maze of parenting
At times stuck in a corner
Accompanied more
by my inner child or teenager
Than standing strong and firm
as my adult self
With the wise answers and ways
Explosions of frustration
Of not knowing what step to take next
Explosions of frustration
Of knowing I want to act in another way
Explosions of frustration
Of the horror that something bad
could happen to her – The one I love the most
And the insight
That I cannot protect her from all the evil
in this world
Explosions of frustration
Of navigating parallell inner paths
That are colliding
But also
Explosions of gratitude
Of not being alone in this maze
Co-parenting makes me stronger
And better
