One Day

One day I’ll have hands and feet
With ten fingers and ten toes
One day I’ll have a face that is complete
With eyes, ears, mouth, and a nose
One day my body will grow big strong
I’ll be loved in a place where I belong

Today is sadly not that day
Sitting with you in this strange room
Today is sadly one that is gray
While waiting inside your womb
Today you’ve made a terrible choice
You’re just lucky I don’t have a voice

One day you’ll regret not keeping me
You didn’t see me as a blessing
One day you’ll regret not loving me
You saw me as something you’re suppressing
Once I’m gone you know it’s forever
I thought you’d never get rid of me what so ever

Today has ended my hands and feet
With ten fingers and ten toes
Today has end my face that is complete
With eyes, ears, mouth, and a nose
Today has ended my body growing big and strong
I have no place where I belong

One day you’ll realize I was alive
You took away everything from me
One day you’ll realize I could have been five
You took away everything I could be
One day should have been today
But right now I’m fading away
