Dying Before Living


I am something.
What am I?
I don't have eyes to see,
Or ears to hear,
Or legs to walk,
Or hands to clap.
I can't really be seen.
No not yet.
But I am alive.
What am I?

I am something.
What am I?
I hear something.
How do I hear?
I have ears.
What is that noise?
I have a heartbeat.
Thump-thump
Thump-thump
What am I?

I am something.
What am I?
There is something in front of me.
They're long & lumpy
I think they're called "fingers".
How do I see these "fingers"?
I have eyes.
I can see.
What am I?

I am something.
What am I?
I can't see anymore.
What happened?
I feel something happening.
I'm forming?
What is it I am forming?
A body.
A body with legs,
And arms,
And fingers,
And bones.
What am I?

I am something.
What am I?
I grew larger.
I am bigger than when I started.
I have full fingers,
And legs,
And a heart, all of my own.
I can kick.
I can move.
What am I?

I am something.
What am I?
I feel tight.
I want to get out.
I see the light,
The opening to new life.
I feel it!
I am ready!
I am alive!
I am coming!
I am --

What is this?
It hurts!
It is metal,
And sharp,
And cold.
What's happening?
I cry out!
But I can't be heard!
What is this?
Who is this?
He grabs me by my soft shoulders,
He punctures my newly formed head.
It hurts!
Why is he doing this?
I can't see the light.
I can't move.
I can't--

~*~*~*~*
I was something.
No.
I was someone.
I had a life.
But it was gone.
Gone before I could even live it.
I was alive.
But I was killed.
Who was I?
Why did I have to go?
What did I do that was so wrong to kill me?
I was just a baby.
I was just a little child.
A child that was never born.

I could have been something.
I could have been someone.
I could have made a difference in the world.
I could have helped you out with your problems.
I could have lent an extra hand.
I could have been...
I could have been...
I could have been born
But instead I'm dead.
Now, I'll never live again.
I will never see the light of life.
I will never be welcomed to the arms of
A loving mother.
I will never make friends.
I will never be who I was supposed to be.
I will never be me.
I am sorry for ruining your life because of my selfish choice to live.
(I am Something, What am I?)
