Children

What a terrible life The woman sits down and breaks down She cries Tears drop The sun shines She wakes up She goes to work She goes out with men One after another All she wants is another child One after another Her miscarriage was too much to bear She thinks to herself I never had a child of my own Why couldn’t I have a child of my own Blank stares The child She goes out Puts her lipstick on A brave face She goes out looking for a mate A silent tear Goes as she enters the room The man with her All she wants is another child
