Eager to make a deal, any deal <br />Whatever it takes to get rid of this monster <br />Hungry and crying beside me <br />Pretty enough on the outside <br />Ugly on the inside <br />Born with something missing <br />Born with something not quite right <br />Inside of its screwed up little head <br /> <br />Only 16 years old <br />I'm nowhere near ready or equipped to handle this kind of mess <br />Nor if I'm truthful do I really want to <br />Hey, I ain't no saint <br />Not gonna start lyin' and pretendin' to be one now <br />Maybe I'm being selfish, but I don't care <br />I'm too young and too full of plans to get tired down like this <br />Maybe I'd be willing to raise it <br />If the kid had even born perfect since it was't.... <br /> <br />I really don't care what anyone here thinks of me <br />I really don't care if this thing beside me gets a good home or not <br />All I care or give a fig about is me, myself and I <br />Numero uno <br />I want to go to college <br />I want to get married and have happy, healthy, normal looking kids someday <br />I want it all <br />Everything except being a mom to whatever curse God has seen fit to place on me <br /> <br />So step right up <br />'Cause I'm ready, willing and able <br />To sign away my rights <br />To agree to whatever you've got in mind <br />To say goodbye <br />No, I won't cry <br />Not even a little <br />After all, you can't miss something you never wanted in the first place <br />Can you? <br /> <br />2009 Ramona Thompson<br /><br />Ramona Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-wants-to-adopt-my-retarded-baby/
