This life inside of me.

This life inside of me.

A Poem by Swoo
"

19, drug addict, single and pregnant - time to change! This poem was the beginning of a new and exciting chapter to my life 15 years ago.

"
My belly is swollen
A baby inside
I have so many problems
And nowhere to hide
I feel so young
Yet so tired
Another day off
Ill get fired!
Im upside down
And inside out
Ill be ok
I mustn't shout
My child inside
Tiny yet complete
Little hands
Little feet
Completely dependant
On no one but me
My child will be loved
For eternity.

In a way. Swoo, you are a walking, talking hero. Most people shrug off their past as if it taught them nothing, you dear lady, have shown what has turned your life around.. you can never look back. You are an achiever, oblivious of Self. Your darling child, whatever age, is so darned lucky to have you. Many thank yous for sharing these words

Very nice! This is an encouragement for others to fight to do what's right for your child.

Sometimes welcoming a new child into the world can herald a new focus and a new start. New babies bring their own love with them into this world. A tender and warm write!

I am familiar with the struggles of maternity; having children of my own. The last one I helped deliver into this world. I could only make my wife as comfortable as possible; ease her fears by remaining calm and be her strong shoulder to lean on. The birth makes all efforts seem as nothing and even the pain vanishes into utter joy. My wife was a smoker for years but quit (thank God) for the sake of our child. I'm happy you made the right decision. Bless.

Yes, being a single mom is at times difficult..
A baby inside
Do like that line..
Would be nice to read follow up poems about what happens.. but I am guessing you will do that💕 enjoy every minute as time dies fly by.
My best to you,
Lisa

In spite of all the problems there's a very positive message - the baby will be loved forever. A great poem with an uplifting feel.
All the best,

I'm sure being a single mom has to be the scariest feeling in the world. Being able to look back and see that things worked and there's a bright future ahead must be a kind of achievement in itself. Good luck. :)
