I Want My Mommy

as I lie in this womb
for it's my heart you'll hear beat soon

da beat beat beat
and da tapping of tiny feet

attached cord
was my mighty sword

words of disgrace
embedded in my taste

drug of ill fath
served on my plate

you have rather me died
than to hear my wimper and cries

I could of made you proud
instead of being wrapped in this tiny shroud

now I am someone else's angel
wearing a nice shinny golden halo


as my unspoken words goes out to you
I hope your next child won't have to go through this too

I did feel it, very expressive. I hurt with it for a minute. But know that i disagree with making others feel guilt for having an abortion. Maybe they were selfish, maybe they couldnt take care of the child, and did what they thought best. Show me some of your pain, something that hurts you, makes you cry, i want your emotions. I see you expressing nothing of yourself, but pride and worship. Your poetry will die with you if you dont go deeper. Be an immortal.

Interesting perspective with a good use of imagery. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for your blog response. So you "can't say no." Bet that could get you into trouble. Hope not. Have a good day my friend. Stay warm. Karen
