A Plea in the Silence

Dear Mother of mine,
Oh, I don't even know
will I ever live to say that,
will I? will I?

Will I ever feel the warmth
of your embrace?
Will I ever hear the tender
whispers of your love?
Will I ever live to say "Ma"
and you..."My Child"?

I don't know, for I am...
that tiny life growing
inside your womb

Fragile, helpless, that I am
for I depend on you,
A tiny life yes, but
am I not a life?

I can't make it on my own
I need you, Mother of mine,
I need you...

Am I an inconvenience?
Am I a reminder of shame?
Am I a reminder of pain?
Am I flawed?
Am I less than "perfect"?
Is that why you want to end
my life?

I don't know, for I am...
that tiny life growing
inside your womb
Fragile, helpless,
needing you to let me live...

Can you find it within your heart?

My conception,
how, when, why
I had no say in it
But please don't deny me life
for what is not my fault

Can you find it within your heart?

Ma, hear my cry
Please hear my plea
From me, your unborn child

Oh, that you may find it within your heart
To let me live!
