Parturition

when we enter this world
we face severe distress

our skull overlaps crushing us
we squeeze through our body, fighting to breathe
and after all the struggle ,we cry

not laugh nor talk,but cry
since the beginning this life showed us pain
and it continues to until death takes form

so we continue to fight through
till the very end
just like we did
when we took our first breath
