Title: The baby
I open my eyes and breathe my first breath
which I will continue to do till death.
I yell and scream but no one cares
something is wrong but no one understands.
They say how cute and look at me,
but something is wrong there has to be.
People surround me as I begin to cry
I hear all around ask why.
The doctor runs in and takes me away.
I am passed around like a relay.
I scream and shout as they look at me
why can't they understand
something is wrong with me
there has to be.
They put me down but don't understand
Someone reaches down to touch me with their hand.
I hear someone yell, its the heart.
Someone help me, someone be smart.
Sounds are so loud from all around,
but no one has done anything, does anyone care?
They say there is something wrong with me
I knew there had to be.
I start to breathe slower, I'm slipping away
I want to live another day.
The doctor says we are losing him,
what is wrong its all going dim.
I hear a lady running in
she asks why it has to be hers.
She says, "Is there something wrong with me,"
"there has to be."
The doctors all scream and shout
As they all yell and look about
He's almost gone we have to move quick
He is falling faster and faster he is too sick.
Something is wrong there is no more light
All of a sudden there is a light I am pulled in.
But it feels wierd, nothing's wrong with me.
That is wrong there has to be
Then I see from above my body on the bed
A lady crying touching my head.
Where am I and what is wrong
it has been way too long.
No one has helped me to get better
but I do feel good warm in the light.
I look down but nothing is wrong with me.
I guess there does not have to be.
I see the lady crying on my bed and I feel
like I love her I wish I could heal.
I wish I could help her I feel so sad
I feel so weird I want her to be glad.
But I am now gone away in the light
I need to go back but there is no hope.
Something is wrong with the lady and with me
There is and will always be.
I will never live with the lady that cries on me.
I guess that is just something that will never be.
