When will you see?
I carried our baby,
nine months of a life growing in me,
nine long months of lovin you,
wishing you would love me too.
Now our beautiful baby is here,
when she was laid across my chest,
the pride I felt,
the love that overwhelmed me,
and still you couldn't see.
She is all I have now,
our precious little Kyra,
she is my life,
my happiness,
nothing comes before her,
yet,
I feel my happiness isn't complete.
I know that when I look at her,
I have every thing I need,
but she is missing out.
She deserves the family you are too afraid to give,
she needs her mommy,
and her daddy...
she needs them to be with her,
but you are too afraid,
you don't see...
But when will you?
Dammit, I'm scared.
I carried her for nine months,
and now I feel I failed her...
nine months of trying to get you to see,
that we need you,
that you shouldn't be afraid...
and out baby still was born into a broken home...
When will you see?

Sometimes they can be so dense and they aren't just ready for a child. but since they have produced one they should take care of it.. Sometimes this will never come to be but you can raise your child with love and make certain that they know that they are loved and wanted. YOU can make certain she grows whole and complete. Yes you will have to be both mother and father to her but it is doable I am a single mom. and I did it. IIf you need some help please do not hesitate to ask I will be glad to do so.

it's lovely and sad both at once. i liked the imagery you used, you really got me to picture your beautiful newborn. the feelings in this piece are strong too, desperate and forlorn...thank you for your powerful entry. i wish you all the luck in the world in bringing your home together again and making your family whole.
