In a place where they repair the injured and diseased, I lay

My stomach swollen with life 

Given by someone who didn’t want it.

The room filled with those trained for the job but no one who raised me or was raised with me.

They feel I am too young to be in this situation, and they're right.

They told me to exterminate and I considered

There's no malice in it, just emotional logic

Let it be gone before it knew it.

But that’s not fair

I am in this alone.

The self hatred is setting in

The hatred of what's inside me is in 

It tore two families apart. 

I pushed it out 

The imp was gone.

The doctor was in possession of it.

I listened to its wail 

I had to look at it. It caused me so much emotional distress

She blew me away

She was healthy, and strong

I had to hold her

She was so innocent and vulnerable

How could I hate her 

She calmed in my arms

I looked at my creation

The feeling in my heart was strong and unmistakable

It made me cry

I no longer felt lonely

It was love
