Still Born

A young 
child with a 
belly 
popping out
swimming in 
thoughts of 
what she 
believes is 
love who 
knows.
I wonder if 
she knows 
the 
difference 
between 
love and lust

Im happy 
yet afraid of 
the situation 
that she is in
How would 
life be if we 
had an 
options on 
when, 
where and 
whom you 
want a child 
with.
Scared as i 
am of what 
tomorrow 
has instore 
for the both 
of us

While 
swimming in 
thoughts of 
joy and 
happiness
I find a dark 
curtain 
covering my 
tomorrow
While 
looking 
forward to 
my first born
I long to find 
that its a still 
born what is 
a mother to-
do
My heart 
feels like a 
glass of 
bottels 
shattere 
across the 
pavemant
The world 
has just 
collapsed on 
my shoulders
Yet to think 
of all the 
trouble i 
went 
through was 
for nothng.
A young 
mother 
ashamed 
and scarred 
for life
