"The Unborn"
Scorned before I was born
blinded before I could see...
deafened before I could hear
these were the choices made for me...
My voice will never be heard
my words will never be spoken...
my thoughts will never mean a thing
my childen will never be born...
don't understand what it is to cry...
what is fun, happiness, love, and hope
what does hurt and pain feel like...
this I don't know...
I won't know what God planned for me
the taste of my first breath remains a mystery...
unexpected, neglected, unwanted
that was me...
my heart was emptied in one vast sweep...
For you see-I never had a chance to be
my life was taken from me...
excited about her and me...
to be near her
was all I dreamed...
I would soon see my mommy
Wow!
couldn't wait to see her eyes
see her smile at me
then...
I heard this loud screech...
then pain from where my
arms, hands, feet use to be...
don't know what I did...
but I still love my mommy
even if she didn't love me....
