Life was inside me.
Location
Life was inside me.
I felt the bump bump,
I saw the movement deep in all of me
The movement that reminded me that I could give life
I heard the beating that made me cry,
Tears of heartbeats and throw up
It was only a little pea
A helpless little pea not knowing it was alive
Because it was only searching for the breath within itself
Life was inside me.
It meant nothing by being alive
All it wanted to do was leave the womb,
Create footprints that were never printed
Have a chance to grow and be someone
Someone that could give life to another helpless little pea
Also not knowing it’s alive
Meaning nothing by living because it didn’t have a choice
Fate was its choice, not mine
Life was inside me.
Life that wasn’t there before that little pea
It created a horribly incredible feeling that was never felt before
Life left my body when that feeling vanished
Little pea took a piece of my life when it lost its own
Because I never knew what it felt like,
Not until…
This happened…
And I….
I wasn’t prepared for…
Life was inside me.
