Save Me
The doctors hush me,
My mother comforts me.
I am born today,
I feel happy.
The teachers reprimand me,
My mother supports me.
My first day of school,
I feel lonely.
My father smiles at me,
My mother adorns me.
My very first date,
I feel jumpy.
My boyfriend hugs me,
My mother photographs me.
Senior prom night,
I feel lucky.
My husband cries for me,
My mother dances with me.
My wedding day,
I feel lovely.
My doctors calm me,
My baby screams with me.
My daughter’s birthday.
I feel…
Nothing.
These days did not happen.
I have not had memories to imagine.
To end my life here,
Is to end the memories then.
Please, save me,
I am just a baby.
I am not a tumor.
I am just a baby.
