The "A" Word

The “A” Word
Now lately Daddy's been counting days
Mommy’s wishing she could count sheep
She's saying "let's reconsider", he's saying he's not going to keep
Not caring if she weeps, this is the part where it gets deep
Daddy says "if you really loved me you would understand why"
Repeating this “A” word and every time, she’d cry
They don’t know I can hear them, I’m listening to every word
Daddy’ shouting that he still doesn’t know how this situation occurred
I wonder what situation? What is going on?
They’re both saying everything will be fine when “it” is gone
What is “it”? Hope they aren’t talking about me
I know I’ll be coming out, but I don’t know when that day will be
Today is strange; mommy’s lying down in the middle of the day
I thought it was time to sleep, until I heard “everything will be okay”
“Are you ready to get the baby out?” that’s when I was confused
I was still too little, but I didn’t hear my mommy refuse
It’s not nine months already, I know that for sure
I guess I’m one of those babies called “pre-mature”
So I guess today’s my lucky day, I’ll get to see mom and dad
I hear more voices from doctors and nurses, they’ll be ready in a tad
After a couple of minutes, I start to feel some pain
I wonder if mommy can feel it too because this feelings insane
It’s only getting worse, but I’m still in the womb
I just hope this pain is over soon
I start to feel woozy and dizzy, I could sleep
Maybe I will after a get a little peek
But now I see a light, I can feel myself being dragged out
I’m getting weaker; I know that without a doubt
Everything goes black, I fall asleep
I’m awake with no more pain, but feeling light
I look around and see neither of my parents in sight
Everything around me is floating, a lot of babies as well
It seems like I’m in a luxurious hotel
I ask the other babies around where we are
I’m still confused, my thoughts are all distorted
That’s when one of the babies mention the word “aborted”

I'm blown away. Your writing is amzing, and I love the story, but I hate the story. I wish more people understood like you do. I wish more people got that a baby's alive too.
