As a cell, I float around <br />I am just another night’s pleasure <br />My goal is my mom’s womb <br />Am I a problem or a treasure? <br /> <br />I finally reach my home <br />Peaceful, safe and straight <br />My joy, words can’t tome <br />To be born, I simply await <br /> <br />I’ll breathe the fresh air <br />And be the way I should <br />I’ll always say a little prayer <br />I will always smile, I would <br /> <br />As I silently lay in your womb <br />Waiting to come out, a happy child <br />I knew not, I was to go to my tomb <br />If I had known, I would have gone wild! <br /> <br />I can hear my mom scream <br />And feel her painful heart <br />I am sure it’s no wicked dream <br />I know not, within days I will part! <br /> <br />My parents decide, another way <br />“Not this, not now” they say <br />To hear, I tried all the way I could <br />But I knew, it was no good <br /> <br />My baby mind screams all it can <br />To be alive for one more day <br />I cry, I weep, I moan, I wail <br />But no one hears my say! <br /> <br />Alas! I go back to my beloved God <br />To where I belonged in the start <br />I try to smile, though it was odd <br />I try hard to impart <br /> <br />My stunted fingers and baby toes <br />Are touched by none ever <br />If once had they heard my plea <br />I would have been like you, a man! <br /> <br /> <br />NOVEMBER 14,2008<br /><br />sania harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hushed-in-your-womb/
