The Plea

"Baby, don't leave me." The mother said to the child The mother was all the child knew The mother needed the child's smile The child didn't know the hell before it The road to hell was paved in manipulation The hell was a place the child never knew A place that gave many lacerations The mother never wanted a baby All the mother wanted was a friend But the child, she could mold it The child, she could twist and bend The mother could make the child stay Let it be warm and let it feed The child knew naught before its rescue All the child knew was the plea

HI! :) Thanks for being really nice, well everyone here is, but you asked me to say hi so I figured why not. Anyways, if anyone other than SKAT can read this, just read on if you wanna learn more about me like she asked. I've always been a straight A student despite family and financial issues, writing is my biggest passion, and I'm ecstatic to be here. That's pretty much it. Thanks -Isabel
