PARADIGM: GONE

-

Baby's POV;
I hear her cry every night; heart throbbing sounds that makes me wide awake.
I feel strokes and pleas
it scares me.
I find no comfort in Mama's womb
My heart beats next to her when all's quiet and in those rare moment she tells me stories
About my Father; a man who has no knowledge of my existence.
About her life, her friends, her family
It makes me happy, to think I'd be part of this family of love.
I am happy in Mama's womb..
One morning,
It felt different,
I couldn't tell how;
Mama was apologizing more than usual
She was up extra early,
With a tremor in her voice, she sang me Good morning.
I felt it then,
 the cold metal hands of death.
Then I knew;
Mama didn't want me.
I was unloved.
I tried to fight it, as I struggled I heard Mama's scream;
"Serves her right!" I thought.
But my fragile 7 weeks self was no match,
As the stranger sucked my very essence out;
I wondered what I'd done to deserve death at the hands of the very person meant to give me life.


Mother's POV;

I’m just sixteen
What am I going to do?
No way to spead  my wings
To forget my dreams
Just to grow this seed
I am just a kid
I sob at every light
Guilt in my mind
Is it in my head or I feel a movement in my ribs
I tell myself, as I touch my womb
You are just a seed
No consciousness or grief
No harm done
Why do I feel my heart break
Like this is a mistake
I’ll live to regret
For the rest of my days
Are you alive?
I say to the seed
I tell him stories that are just fables
Lies that his father was a king
That my family didn’t just throw me out the street
Do you feel my warmth
Better this  way
I think,
As I feel a great pain my way
Better to go back to where you came
Where pain and misery is a tale
I feel a tear drop as I feel empty Again

Do you get the message in the poem??? Let me know what you think below?

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac
