Unwanted Life
The night was hot to bodies glisten with love
Then he pushed her away with a gentle shove
It was this night I was conceived
The test said positive it was hard to believe
No this can’t be she thought I don’t want this child
A few months go by and she is still so wild
Alcohol and drugs Is what she tries
Still I cling to life so she cries
With a hand on her belly what must I do to end this life?
I don’t want no more pain no more strife
No to her family I’m not pregnant she lied
That is the day I almost died
Three pounds and an ounce is what I weighed
Three months early to the day
I look at this world with brand new eyes
And silently my mother looks down and cries
A tear rolling down her check she accepts her fate
She can’t get rid of me it’s much to late
Of all the kids im the one that’s shown no affection
All my life I’m treated like an infection
What have I done to deserve this hate?
I wish I would have died but now it’s to late
To my family I just stay away
Im not wanted still to this day
