I was in there
Where I was supposed to be for nine months
I felt myself grow,
I sensed my fingers sprouting,
My toes appearing,
My little ears listening for the
action and excitement going on,
Outside the little space of love where I was growing
I waited for my lower limbs to form
So that I could drum the sides of my little home
Telling my parents that I'm anxious to meet them
Telling them that I was waiting to open my eyes, what ever color
And behold the people who I loves so much
My legs never finished growing,
I never knew the color of my eyes,
I never formed completely
Because my heart stopped beating,
Because I died
But I didn't die naturally,
I was forced to die
In simple words, I was killed
They removed me from that woman's womb
Who I had died trying to meet,
I was thrown away by the man who I had dreamed of laying my eyes on,
I had already guessed that I was disposed of,
Because they did not want me
Why they did not want me was not certain.
Soon I found out
I was everything they wanted
Except I lacked one small detail.
In my genetic makeup,
I had what they never wanted in me
Two X chromosomes.
I had another X instead of that Y
Which caused my death
I died because, only because,
I am a girl,
and to my parents,
that is a curse,
I died because I am a girl
