Diary of an Unborn Child

I open my fluttering eyes For the first time in my entire life All around I see darkness All I feel is numbness. Today my life begins Though no one knows yet Except He who moulded me He, who is I AM.   I am, Nothing but a tiny being But I know I shall accomplish great things Though my mother Acknowledges not my presence yet Though my father Knows me not yet I shall be known by the world I have great dreams.   It's the third month. My heart is much stronger. It shall grow stronger till it tire Until I'm old and weary And lay in blissful rest.   I can't wait to come into the world To stroke my mother's hair with my fingers; To hug my father with my arms; To pick flowers and decorate momma's hair; To be a loving, caring and obedient daughter; To be a leader who would deliver my people; To lead them to victory; To win battles and make my parents proud; To experience true love; To know what it means to be a mother; Oh! How I love my parents For giving me an opportunity to come to the world.   The noise tickled my ear I hear the popular sound once more I have grown accustomed to it Since the fateful night I was discovered By some old man poking my body And a lucid object giving light to my darkness. I felt a pain. Is mother in danger? I have to save her! I have to protect her! Kick as hard as you can I have to come out and save mother. Mother wait for me, I'm coming.   The noise stops suddenly I hear the sound no more. Stead I hear the sound of mom's weeping. My heart weeps along with her. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you" "But I promise" "Till the day I die, no harm shall come your way" "I shall protect you with my last drop of blood" I wonder if she can hear me. My hearty heart grows stronger everyday Stronger for the battle ahead. It beats, tum -dum, tup- dup.   Nevermore. Today my mother killed me.
