The Voices Within

We have done nothing
To deserve all this pain
To be pulled on
Tugged on
Like you have everything to gain

We are pulled inside out
From the outside in
No matter how much we yell
You still put us through hell

Is there a good reason
For what you do wrong
You know it’s a sin
Yet you’ll do it again

If you would give us a chance
We could prove to you all
How much happier you’d be

Stop all this madness
Please let us live
Quit taking our lives
Like we never once lived

Listen inside you
We are a part of you
We have your heart beat
Your laughter

You’ll be proud one day
Of the decision you’ll make
Once you chance your mind
There’s no going back

For we are a part of you
We are growing inside of you
You’re blanketing us with your womb

Please chose life for us
We are babies after all

Please let us have a chance at life
