Pregnant With Poison

I cradle my stomach, not to keep it safe but to keep me safe from it I can feel my womb swelling, smirking that it’s not gone yet This guest was uninvited, but it’s settled itself at home Explored every part of me before his presence was even known It’s sat in quiet corners hatching a master plan To gradually consume me, steal as much as it can, He gets his life from draining mine Trying to beat those who are saving mine Handed a life sentence but what was the crime A family all around me who are craving more time My body tried to warn me I ignored every sign, Although they say u need darkness if ur ever gonna shine It’s growing inside of me, protected by my womb Miracles and tragedy all conceived in one room The part of me that gave me my most precious possessions Where I grew and gave life to my two biggest blessings Is the same part that’s going to take me from them If I’m not still around will they know where they belong then? I need to fight back I need to get strong for them I need to do right so they won’t think I did wrong by them I used all my strength and pushed with all my might To bring them into this world and give them life Now I use that strength to stand up and fight I can’t bring them darkness when they bring me so much light
