Birth

After so long I am still me,

formed of Mother's love, daddy's seed.

Made in a place of safety, tho dark and mysterious,

I was welcome then but soon came the pain and tears.

My world was black, no sight in sight, no help with my first fears.

I'm growing cold in this wet, new place.

An. angry light hits these unseeing eyes too soon.

Fear grabs me, my mind an endless maze,

A strange language into my ear does croon

things unknown to me, replacing my former world,

I'm helpless against a power that now holds me against my wishes.

Hold on! Hold on! Don't fight! To do so would be useless.

Wait for the Voice, the Light and Voice to show Its' presence,

the love and compassion to take me back home.

In a wink I'm using these legs all covered with bruises and blood,

What can I do? These feelings are all wrong -

so much fear, so much pain, too much blood 'til I found this hole -

this deep dark hole where they can't find me, a secret place unknown

by my tormentors, so deep, so quiet, so safe, yet so alone..so alone
