Who Am I?

Who am I? 
I am me. 
I do what you do, 
I see what you see. 
I'm just the mom with spit up in her hair, 
Who puts on her makeup before she goes anywhere. 
I dress up my baby from head to toe, 
Just to impress people I don’t even know. 
I'm a quiet mom, at least that’s what you see, 
But inside my head I'm much more lively. 
 
If only you could see the real me, 
That’s the person I want to be. 
You see the mom who's got it all figured out, 
Even though I'm just the mom with a lot of doubt. 
I'm not that mom you see online; 
My house is a mess and I'm never on time. 
But my son is happy and there's a roof over his head. 
He gets plenty of food and a nice warm bed. 
 Who am I? I am a mom and wife. 
So It doesn't matter what people think, because that’s my life.
