Silent Scream

I can hear them from here Their wails and cries I can see their tears from here They are the babies I wasn't bold enough to birth Babies my stomach wasn't strong to carry Babies I killed before they saw the light of the world They were sleeping peacefully inside me Growing graciously within me Until I took the pills And first it was their head I felt as it dissolved into blood Each moment of pain I could hear them asking me Why Mama? Why not give us a chance to be the best God wants us to be? I felt them fighting terribly for life inside me All I could do was to hold my stomach As I rounded into a ball in the corner of my sorrow Then slowly I felt life slip out of them And slowly the fighting ceased in a loud silence As I looked down, I felt between my thighs, a fluid But it wasn't blood, but the dreams and Ambitions my babies could have had All streaming down my thighs 'My MA and PA will scold me' ' I don't want shame all over me ' I begged Then like angels without wings, I saw them! All in white They were two beautiful boys ... Boys I could have given the best I never had 'I'm sorry ' I uttered Then slowly they turned their backs and left And written on the path they stood was YOU KILLED US. (This is to children who were too perfect for the world to see)
