Mama

In my stomach you were forming,
although I didn't know.
Daddy made you against my will,
although no one knows.
I love you,
although this was never meant to happen.
I cant be your mama, I don't have the power.
Your daddy had power,
when he ripped my clothes off, 
invaded my body,
he couldn't stop.
Screaming,
Fighting,
Crying,
Silence.
I can't breathe, I can't see.
All I can feel, is your daddy on top of me, right where he is not meant to be.
I'm sorry baby girl, but I have to let us go.
We're in this together,
Remember,
Mama loves you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
