Abortion

My life ended the coinciding second that it began.
Mama let mean people hurt her,
Inject lethal chemicals into her
To get rid of the "thing" inside her.

I could hear her heart beating so fast;
Feel each palpitation in unison with mine.
She was warm, too warm,
And her head clouded with her life goals.

Mama names me "An Abomination"
I liked that name.
She cooed it to me while I slept once
Telling me how much of a mistake I was.

But then when the chemicals hit my bloodstream...
Everything went blank.
The daily noises stopped and my name was no longer uttered.
Only a cold black filled me.

The mistake was corrected and Mama left.
She left me behind with no second thoughts.
No one can listen to my cries or laughter, my voice...
They never could and never will.
