Why NOT me?

Why NOT me? In the shadow of the womb, I lay, Tiny and helpless, not yet on display, Unknown to the world, silently I grow, A life in waiting, with oh, so much to show. But fate decides, with a cruel twist, My future uncertain, in this rollercoaster abyss, Cast aside, before I can even breathe, My tiny heart is draining, unable to seethe. Do they know my pain; my silent cries, As they take away my one chance to rise? In the folly of their choice, I was made. A lost soul, not wanted, trapped in the depths of their parade. Unseen, unheard, my existence denied; My potential extinguished, as they decide. But in the shifting dance of life and death, I'll remain just a whisper, a forgotten breath. For those who choose to overlook; The beauty in me, the life they forsook, Remember this, in the depths of your heart, I was here, I did exist, I was a part. Now I’m in the arms of the one who never cast away Where I know I can sleep peacefully, and safely lay For even if no one on the earth will take a gift from the creator  I’ll forever accept him as my life giving savior!
