My Birth Was a Crime

Already twenty two years has passed since the first day I opened my eyes and to confirm that I’m alive The doctor slapped my butt then I cried everyone was happy and mom smiled but for me it was just the beginning of an eternal war they thought I cried ’cause I felt hurt but they didn’t know that I never wanted to come it wasn’t my decision, and no one asked my opinion Did I say I wanna join your world? Did I knock mom’s tummy and beg her to take me away? I’ve never complained of living with many ovaries in the dark I’ve never felt lonely, never felt sad and honestly I was pitying those who have been chosen before me their lives aren’t better than mine anyway ’cause actually we’re all on the same side living with nothing running over nothing fighting for nothing well we are the twins of mister nothing… I tried to convince myself that I could make a change I tried to believe that I could seduce tomorrow I tried to believe that I’m gonna be a hero I tried to believe that I could manipulate life like my shadow but I didn’t know that I’m gonna be manipulated by my shadow I never knew that once they arrest you in life’s prison you can’t never ever be freedom And if you ask the reason for this cruel decision they will tell you your birth was a crime and once you are here there is no way to look back I was born to live alone I was born to be my parent’s robot I was born to please everyone I was born to marry mister pain in other words I was born to be your marionette dress my body like a clown makeup my face like a vampire then throw me in your unfair empire. I’m your puppet and I accept to pay for a crime that I’ve never done. ’cause of you I breath injustice to survive and I drink tears to still be alive…
