POSTPARTUM GLOOM

Lying on bed in the mid of night,

She watches the dazzling stars,

And turns to her sleeping child,

Whom she recently bore,

But now she deeply loathe her,

For a reason she can’t tell

The child now feeling cold

Cries out for a cuddle,

To gain the warmth and feel the love,

And cries even more out of hunger,

But his mother shows no concern,

For a reason the child can’t tell

The husband walks in,

And takes the child into his arms,

And feels resentful toward her,

For he thinks she is lazy and she is a fake,

Since her behavior has changed suddenly,

For a reason he can’t tell

Visiting the doctor the next day,

She looks indifferent and passive,

On a close examination,

Her condition is more than physical,

It’s a mental illness the doctor tells

For a reason of hormonal imbalances
