THE PAINFUL SMILE

The twenty four hours of

Pain and struggle.

The feeling of bones

Breaking together and

Muscles tearing apart.

When you move inside

Your limited womb

Struggling for space for

Your completely grown infant body.

The successful completion of nine months

Compels you to leave your first home,

Safe from all corners

And you CRIES, leaving

Your first home and welcomes,

The adventurous new world

Still in the dropping pain

SMILES your mother

Holding the infant CRYING..
