I try to be honest
I try to be true
I try to love my baby
the way you want me to
why wont my heart let me
follow my heads plea
to be the kind of mother
all women strive to be
I want to open up my heart
to this child im told is mine
but all my head keeps saying
is that not all is well and fine
Put the baby to your breast
is what they all do say
and all I really want to do
is scream and run away
Is my life a lie now
and do i have to leave
because I dont understand now
why anyone loves me
I cant love a baby as beautiful as this
then I am not someone they are likely to miss
Keep him safe and love him well
Hes better off with you
Now isnt it just lucky
I have the three day blues!
All this will be over in a day or two
but for some, postnatal depression
is really coming through
So when your feeling lonely
or really feeling blue
speak to a doc or midwife
or just someone close to you.
