abortion

Why mam, oh why have you done this to me
rejected a life that I,ll now never see.
Please help me to understand why this was done
I thought I was baby, I thought you were mum.

No booties or nappies or two hour feeds
no mommy or daddy to care for my needs.
No cradle or toys and no glowing light
just a pain for a second then me out of sight.

Who should I blame for the things I have missed
mom, dad or doctor, shal I go down the list?
It just Isn,t fair and I cant even cry
six months before birth and I,m sentenced to die.

I,ll never grow up or have kids of my own
deprived of a life, yes that I should have known.
Was It easier this way, you don,t have to name
the tiny small bump that was bringing you shame.

I,ll not get no answers, for I,ll never be here
to the woman called mom now I,ll never get near
In the life,s game of chess I wasn,t even a pawn
cos people decided I shouldn,t be born.
