Life---Why?
Cold outside everything so barren
icy limbs against stark blue cloudless sky.
A new beginning small tiny fingers and toes
Oh that she could have chosen her destiny
her life---Why?
A small shoe boxed sized bundle of joy
for someone to love--or not.
No one whispered in her small ears that
life was cruel and cold outside or that she was only
a miniscule dot.
Later years at the end she has learned to get by,
alone on her own depending on no one
Now she knows those things not whispered
when she could have chosen to live or to die.
Now as she looks back on her existence
it is oh so evident. She would have been better off
if she'd never been born;
If she'd just never been.
