I’ve been told I will open my eyes.
What a crazy thought.
What would I see?
It’s so dark in here.
the drum beats faster, it’s time to move.
I rearrange myself for the day.
Today is an exciting day.
I’ve been told I will open my eyes.
I’ve been told I will never come back here.
What a scary thing.
To be extracted?
It’s so warm in here.
The liquid flows, I can hear her.
The voice I long for so much.
I’m scared today.
I’ve been told I will never come back here.
I’ve been told there is color there.
...I don’t know color.
What is it like?
Compared to this womb.
I felt a sting, when she fell down.
I wonder if it’s like that.
Today I’m suppose to see.
I’ve been told there’s color there.
I’ve been told I would breathe.
but this world is getting tighter.
What’s wrong mom?
I can hear her crying.
I feel that again, the sting.
It’s enveloping me.
My drum beats, only to falter.
….I was told I would breathe….
Mom...I was told I would breathe....
….mom?
