The Child...

just a little something :)

I no longer feel empty
knowing i have something growing inside me

How do i tell you
that im due in just a few months?

You'll say you'll be there for me
but after a while you'll slowly disappear

The fathers gone
and i'm left alone to deal with this

I need to start making a plan
as i need to get ready for my child

You'll say you love me and that you'll help
and yet you'll never be there when i truly need you

I'll be alone during birth
and i'll be alone raising my child

My child is my future now
i'm going to struggle telling you this

But i hope one day you'll understand
that i've got to think of whats best for my unborn child
and not me

I'm only twenty
and had such a bright future ahead of me
it's my own fault
i should have been more careful

The father doesn't care
he won't be there
he's left me here alone dealing with our unborn child
he laughed in my face
and walked away when i told him when i was due
haven't seen him since.

I'm going to do what i can for you my unborn child
you are now my future and i will do anything for you
i'm sorry if im not the best mom
but i'll learn from my mistakes.

I've got to do this alone
without any help just me on my own.

I'm sorry if you don't understand
but my unborn child needs me more than you do
i hope one day you understand

You can hate me for all i care
but i've got to do whats best
it's hurting me to end it like this
after all we had
all i can say is
I'm sorry

Spoken by a future mother who will always be there for her child, the bond is already growing and when the child is born, it will be a loving bond never broken. A open and honest poem in my view.
