Notes About The Poem

Small Voice

Small Voice

Inside. 
I am changing. 
It happened. 
I don’t want it too. 
It was a mistake. 

My heart is racing, I checked the stick. 
Yes, it is for real. I am with child. 
I need to dump this problem. 
I need to let go, of him. 
He does not want me. 
He does not want us. (us?)

Butterflies, trains, duck tails, 
and cookies for the holiday.
Nonsense, what is this?
I can not think clearly…

I walk by the window, at the mall. 
Little toys and things, … I begin to cry. 
I am going to die. 
I want to die.  
I should go now…

I delay, 
I don’t know why…
I am stupid. 

He called me this morning.
He does not believe me.
He hates me,
and never wants to see me again.
 
Today, today I will kill it.
Today, today my baby kicked me. 
Today, I decided He was a dick.
Today, I decided to be a mom.

This is not a single argument by a single mom. It is all those that got into trouble, that need to remember the he they are talking about is a bad guy, the other is a small, tiny voice...calling mom....
