Grief

FIRST MONTH:
Mommy, it's so dark in here.
I am not worried, though.
I will slowly begin to get bigger,
develop and grow.
My body is so tiny.
I can't wait to see.
I bet you're beautiful, Mommy.
We'll be a family.
SECOND MONTH:
Mommy it's so cloudy.
What could this be?
It makes me cough.
I can hardly see.
It tastes nasty too, Mommy.
Mommy, it looks like smoke.
Will you please stop?
It hurts more then you know.
THIRD MONTH:
Mommy, I hear a voice.
Is that my Daddy, so near?
Oh Mommy, what did you do?
I feel funny. I'm scared.
I saw the needle go in,
and my head felt light.
Mommy, I know this is bad.
Something isn’t right.
FOURTH MONTH:
"Ma'am, please stop,"
I heard the Doctor say.
Mommy, I think he knows,
what you do to me everyday.
I think he called them drugs.
Mommy, he said they were bad.
Mommy, why do you drugs so much?
It makes me so sad.
FIFTH MONTH:
I am not doing so well,
and my body won't grow.
I am glad there are only
a few months to go.
The pain surges through me,
with every needle, or puff.
You’re killing me Mommy.
Enough is enough.
SIXTH MONTH:
Mommy, it hurts,
when the needle goes in.
I heard you say, "give me more,"
of that heroine.
I am so small Mommy.
Don’t you care?
I want to be healthy, Mommy.
I want to be there.
SEVENTH MONTH:
Mommy I can't wait.
It's too much to bear.
I don't think I'll make it,
past my first breathe of air.
The Doctor’s are trying,
but they say I came too soon.
Don’t cry Mommy,
I feel so renewed.
EIGHT MONTH:
Mommy, it's ok.
It's all right. You'll see.
Heaven took me in,
when your drug problem killed me.

| i thought the idea to write this poem from the babies perspective was very creative. it was very hard hitting and emotional it made me cry, very sad and a great piece. |
