Born to Death

Today I was born,
Only to die,
My eyes hurt without tears,
I lived in the womb,
But a decision took it from me,
My mother's abandon love,
Took me before my life,

 

The pain of it all,

Physical torture is my death,

Mental anguish is all I have gained,

I thought she would love me,

In her womb so safe and secure,

Her voice comforting me each day,

The warmth of her life kept me strong,

But today I was born to death,

 

She said she did not want me,

She could not care for a child,

I begged her with no words at all,

Please let me live,

With each moment I beg,

But her ears did not hear me,

She could not feel me with her heart,

I cried as she decided to let me go,

 

Never will I have a name,

Or get to breathe my first breath,

Never will I learn to walk,

Or even speak my first words,

Why could she not have gave me a chance,

This pain is so much to bear,

As they stick a unknown object into my brain,

I scream out in such agonizing pain,

 

Please mommy don't cause me to go,

I want to love you and learn,

Do you not want to watch me grow,

Please mommy make them stop,

It hurts so bad,

The searing pain inside my head,

The spear did not kill me completely,

Something begins to pull me from my nest,

The warmth leaves me,

Death is my birth this day,

 

A light hits my tender eyes,

Without a voice I can not cry,

My lungs can not accept this air,

My brain bleeds with hurt,

I look blindly at the one that let me go,

Mommy I still love you,

Now I must go,

Death awaits me,

My birth was not allowed,

Now my soul will go back to the creator,

How my heart breaks,

Born to Death,

Gone I have been taken by decision

 

Mommy before I am completely gone,

Remember the words of my little soul,

I love you forever,

And I forgive you,

I hope to see you again,

But until then I can not stay,

Good-bye my mommy,

I really do love you,

It is now my time,

Born to Death,

Nothing left but a shell,

I shall return to Him,

And live in his undieing love

 



 

Author notes

I wrote abortion from a child's point of view. I know it is sad, but they live the moment they are conceived.

    Very Emotional

    This was so hard to read, yet I had to continue. You have picked a very difficult subject but managed to do it very well. It left me feeling so sad, for all those unwanted babies, I believe, if your old enough to do it, the you're old enough to become a mother. This is truly and outstanding piece, well done!

      I know this one was hard to write. I wanted to make it deep for the contest I was in but it was not what the judge was wanting so I removed it and added a new one,. But I am glad others are still loving it.

    This poem is really heart breaking. I also found it to be alittle disturbing! I guess becuase of the nature of the poem. I do agree with you that a child has life from the moment of conception but prompt was Child brith from the childs perspective. We were looking for peices about the child actually experiencing child birth, going through it all. This peice is very well written so I will have to pounder upon it before making a decision. Good write ! Good luck in round three.

      I thought that was what you meant when you put on the option that you have several diffrent way to write this. I can rewrite another one and remove this one if it is not what you are looking for. I don't want to loose because of wrong content. Abortion is a forced birth, but if you want a full term birth I can write on it. Please let me know before the contest ends. I will rewrite it.
