[bodytext] => I have slept for three months inside my tomb, Hoping for light to one day seep through. I know that I must get out, But I cannot even scream or shout. I feel that my final days are near, But who is this woman’s voice that I hear? Her words bring joy to my heart. “I love you” she tells me in the dark. If only I could respond back. And so I devised a plan. I would wait for her arrival at three, But that day she never came back to me. Instead I felt her shake and tremble. As she was hit by a barrage of blows to her temple. “I cannot keep you any longer” she tells me as she bleeds. I wanted to ask her why, but I could not speak. Soon her pain became routine. I could feel her body: bruised and beat. One day she told me an important thing: Her boyfriend kept on hitting her because she kept me. It was then that I realized that she was my mother. Who else would be able to bring me so much comfort? And so I knew that I would meet her soon. In just seven months I would finally leave my mother’s womb. But those seven months were cut short; When she brought me to the doctor’s office during month four. It was then that I knew that I would not see my mother’s face, Because she told me that she would leave me in a few days. I have slept for four months inside my mother’s womb. And soon it would be my mother’s turn to sleep too. Because once the doctor pricked her skin with a syringe, Her eyes sank downward like a wooden ship. And then the lights in the room became distorted, As the doctor began the abortion. I was pried from my mother’s womb. Only to die within the operating room.
