The babies that bleed from me

Little formed
limbs and hearts
the size of
jelly beans

begin to beat
inside my body,
longing to come
into existence

into a life, they
know was made
specially for them.

But.

I stop them in
their tracks.

I say:
This is not
a life that
you deserve.

One of hearts
split into a
thousand pieces
a million times
over. Inevitably.

The breaking in
of your skull
regularly because
the world tells
you that you can
not - ever - be
enough.

The hollowness
in you brain
awarded to you
by the lottery
of chemistry.

A life of
accidents
    and
chance.

No.

You don't
deserve this.

You deserve
so much more:

Eternity.
