"What seems real is that people have both more entitled expectations of femmes' time and ears, and of femmes being perfect. Expectations run high that you are either a magic mommy who fixes everything perfectly and infallibly and never says no, or you are a shit failure bitch who deserves every bit of rage thrown at you."
- Care Work (2019) by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, p. 218
lyrics
Every day
All I hear
Babies crying
All around
Where’s my mommy?
Mommy has everything you need
She’s gonna make it all ok
I’m your magic mommy
I’m here to help you grow
So patient, selfless, giving
Someone you barely know
Mommy
That’s not my name
You wear it out
I’m the failure shit bitch
Can’t meet your every need
Won’t let you waste my time so
You’re gonna watch me bleed
Mommy
I’m not your magic mommy
I’m not your loving wife
I’m not your precious daughter
Just living my own life
