The Child: a poem about rejection

Who wants the child?

Who wants the lie?

Who wants this waste of space?

The child should die.

Who’ll want this girl?

Who’ll stand the cries?

Who’ll soothe away her pain?

Who’ll care if she dies?

She wants to be wanted

she doesn’t want lies

she wants soothing space;

she’d rather have died.
