Morbidly Ironic

Morbidly ironic Profoundly apologetic To the body that has carried me Despite the rigorous decrees I issued over you Knowing the stress and restrictions followed were of my own volition Here I now kneel, begging the same body I so begrudgingly belittled and bullied The body that I starved and overworked The body I intentionally cut and bruise and burn The body with the walking death sentence Now pleading for this same body to produce life Have I asked too much Pushed the boundry of her capabilities Exceeded the capacity in her efforts of saving me Why did I not value you Take care of you Love you like I should've I now know of your limitations

How would you know? Most mothers would never give their child a glass of water containing 17 heaping teaspoons full of sugar, but do not hesitate to give their child a sodapop containing the same amount. A daily dose of that ruins your system before you have a chance to grow up! Aloha! Rico
