I sit in my bed, staring over at the wall
Talking to my baby, telling it everything is going to work out,
Promising something which I know will never happen.
See, this world is a really scary place,
When you are all alone, never see a familiar face.
You hope and dream, you can make it better,
For the little life you are about to bring into this world.
Sometimes late at night, I think of all the options I have.
I sometimes wish that this little being growing inside of me,
Wasn't there anymore.
I know I shouldn't think these thoughts.
They aren't fair.
I just want better for my baby, than I can give it.
I went to get my first ultrasound just the other day.
I asked the doctor what it was, but he said it was too small to say.
So, I'm sitting here wondering what to do.
I'm going to be a mom here soon,
I still am wondering what exactly I should do.
