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
