UTERO HOLDER OF LIFE
Reddish brown hue
Holder of life
So easy to view
Beautiful
Mother’s hold held, life spoil
She stands tall, fertile
Legs sequoia
Woman mother of man
Releasing’s life’s blood
Eggs embryos
Down her limbs
Nurturer, mother of world
Red river life flows through
The womb monthly flows
Utero holder of life

Alone with my thoughts
It’s dark and warm
It feels safe
That strong pounding
Steady heart beat
Pumps life into me as I wait
I wait and wait to forget
That’s the rules of the game
I come from heaven
But agreed to leave it behind
I have a game plan
But I need to become a clean slate
That’s the rules of the game
I wait to burst onto the world
Discover and experiment on my own
Pick up clues here and there
Put the pieces together
Trying to remember
Everything I’ve forgotten
That’s the rules of the game

I ****ing hate myself and want to die.
In Utero, I deem inspiration,
but not sarcasm or imitation.
My anguish is authentic and a cry
for help, but why would people waste their time?
Not like their so-called justification
for concern is any indication
that they care enough to bawl, weep and cry.
Nobody will even care when I’m gone,
much less the violated deity.
For that, I am ungrateful and alone.
I scorned her body with a written piece.
A conclusion which should have been forgone.
Forgone like death, which should put me at ease.

Baby girl
Fashioned by God's hand
You are a
Miracle in the making
A priceless jewel
Beautiful
Precious life
Cradled in the womb
So fragile
So amazing
So perfect in every way
You are loved
