Written on 19th B'day

19 years ago

.

in my ma's womb i lay

the darkness suffocating me

its walls seem to say

you are a prisoner

.

i kicked and i pushed

and struggled in vain

with her each moan of pain

i smiled

.

i came out at last

covered with bloody waste

.

but

.

only the cage is bigger

am still a prisoner

.

and

.

the first breath

of life

was a cry

of anguish

.

echo-ing still

all over

.
