I'm Not A Monster

I live inside you. I love you. Why don't you love me?

 

Dear Mommy,

I’m not a monster

I just want you to love me

I know he hurt you

But please don’t take it out on me

I don’t want to go to sleep

I haven’t even woken up yet

 

“It’s not a baby yet”

“No one would miss it”

You tell yourself that every night

You sit and cry for hours

It’s all my fault

I don’t deserve to live

 

No, I don’t deserve you

I’m his child

Go to the doctor

Have me ripped out of you

It’s what I deserve

I’ll pay for the pain he caused you

Bye, bye mommy

I’m sorry it had to end this way

 

Love, Your Baby

you want your work to strike a cord and flood the reader with emotion. This was extremely well written and did just that.
It was sad and heart-breaking.

[Kaden Sylvers]

Wow, this was extremely powerful.

[RaindropsRoses93]

Wow this is very powerful! Its short but simple and packs alot of emotion into a short poem. Thanks for you review, feel free to look at my other work.

umm wow. That was mighty powerful. Im not even sure what to say. If i was having an abortion this might stop me. No it def would. It was so intense even though it was short it was right to the point. Im sure ppl have written from an unborn child's point of view before but something like this I have never read. I think i will def be reading more of your work now. Good write.

Wow......that is scary and haunting and....oh my......I just don't know. Who would think to have an unborn child write something.
I'm shocked but it was incredible and it was good....so powerful and full of emotion and pain.
Wow.....I'm definitely going to be reading more of your work.

Always....Glitter

[Ryoko Niwa]

It strange in a unique way. I like it though....and yet its is sad.

[Wolfwind Words]

Powerful and disturbing. The topic presented is harsh and strikes a very emotional cord.
No child should suffer for the reasons it came about.
Unexpected...
Out of hate...
Wrong time...
The unborn child doesn't know those things... A baby only knows a beating heart and a safe warm place.

It's bad enough when one has a child out of love and looses it. I know from personal experience. To have a child out of anger and not even give it a chance would be more of a sin, in my opinion, then the reason it was created.

Very well written,

whoa. knocked me off my feet. i personally disagree with your point of view on abortion, but it's still a really great poem. definitely a controversial subject, as illustrated in politics. you almost have me convinced...but only almost; i'm stubborn.
