As tiny as you are

You won't get very far

You'll change her life

If she could

She would abort you with a knife
'Get out of my tummy'
'You'll ruin me'

You remind her of him

So you'll never win

No one wants to see your developing toes

No one wants to see you grow

No ultrasound

No painting of a nursery

No,
You are a mistake no one wants to see

Besides,

She's only nineteen
'I just started university...'
'I can't raise a baby'
'I need it out of me'

Neither of them care

Truly,

Life's not fair

No one dreams of your full head of hair

There's no plan to nurture your cries

It's your development she hides

Yes she'll mourn your loss

But not for too long

Your birth would steal her youth

Kidnap her future

Born unwanted

She'd rather be haunted

Only by your possibility
