Ever wondered the pains a man goes through while his wife is in Labor? Read THIS
Labor :the agony of the man Mom's legs were spread apart A privilege I thought only I had Not the pleasure of penetration this time But the agony of childbirth How I prayed for it to be all over Your mother's scream still haunts me Your birthday I can never forget Still yet no one asked how I felt But I will tell you Nine months after our wedding night On the same bed your mum wailed Panic Creepled my whole existence Her water just broke Weeks before then I became a "slave" of love for mama I became a "slave" for you my child I did all mama asked even when I couldn't I didn't know who was scared the most I didn't know who to pray to what if I was asked to choose you or mum, a life for the other hell I would have given mine I held her trembling hands and whispered unsure words stuffs like it would be OK hun I had to be strong for you both I met fear that day as he made a mockery of the man I was my heart bleed with an outburst when mum screamed after the "push" command Only 5minutes into 7 long hours of labor I had already became a restless soul but I did sit quietly Drowning in my own emotions Lord how did I become this weak as tears gathered around my eyes solace I found nowhere Because mama's screams where everywhere I wanted to disappear Run into the streets, cover my ears put up a smile and play good music but this torture was all the music I got Suddenly I heard a second scream my child, your cry, my soul's music a tear drop from my eyes welcomed you and all I could whisper was" happy birthday " When I held you in my arms I became a man again you gave me all the strength I needed a torment worth while PS: physical pain is no equivalent to emotional pain. Men do cry... And the torment is real. So many people often look down on the trauma the men face while their wives are in Labor, I've seen men commit suicide after loosing his wife and child during labor. Men may not feel the physical pain and hurt that the woman is currently going through, but the emotional turmoil that he is going through can break the bravest and strongest of men. But then, men have been taught to hide how the feel and never show emotions, because showing of emotions is an equivalent of being weak. Allow men to feel and feel freely. #shreds
