A Little Angel's Soul Poem by Sweta Leena Panda

A Little Angel's Soul



A little angel's soul
Mom, I know it's hurting
However I have to say you good bye now
I am not so lucky enough like others
Mom I wanna request you
Please don't cry for me
I know why you knowingly kill me
As you don't want spoil my future
I can feel your pain mom
So please don't cry
I had so many dreams
When I was in your womb
I didn't have a name as such, even if I didn't get the chance,
I wasn't meant to live on earth
as my god has given me this much life time
I knew you would love me from the very start,
from that first sighting & beating of my tiny heart,
so I know that it will hurt you that you have to say goodbye
I wanna say something to this world
Can you spread this message over the world?
I have a heart that beats like yours
ten fingers and ten toes
I have a mind that thinks like yours
and feels joy and sorrow too
I'm no different than you
So why you kill me unnecessarily
What mistake I have done
I breathe the same air like you
Walk the same path
Eat, sleep and Talk just like you do
I feel happy, worry and love
I'm no different than you
Why then do you think I don't deserve to live
why am I considered worthless?
I have a heart which beat like you
I have also some dream like you
Then why you don't let me to fulfill all
I am crying before you
I am just begging my life
Which you have taken from me
It's my life then who are you to take it & why
I had a dream to see my mom
I also wanna live within a family
I had dream for a wonderful life like everyone have
then why you people hate me
What was my fault?
I'm no different than you
You say I'm a burden
you don't want me no more
you want boys you pray
That's why you decide to end my life
when I am unable to speak
& being murdered with a knife
Don't feel pain
Don't you feel how much it will give me pain?
You think I don't feel a thing
as you can't see me suffer
I scream and struggle, I'm helpless
As inside you I'm going through torture
I can't shout & tell what I feel
But inside I was dying
Alas, you've already made up your mind
To end my life
There's nothing I can do
I am helpless
the pain you've caused me
You have no clue!
After my death you put me in dustbin
How much cruel you are
I am now in a dumpster
with other girls like me
whose family members believed the same as you
and did to them what you did to me
Now though my heart no longer beats
I can't hear, breathe or feel a thing too
I do forgive you however, for what you did
for maybe I am far different than you
But before leaving this earth one thing I wanna tell you
I gonna tell you something you probably never knew
it hurt me badly when doctor cut me know of pieces
I couldn't shout & tell what I was feeling for you
I wanted to tell you that I'd always love you
I wanted to tell you something about my dream
I wanted to tell you something about me
I didn't need anything expect your love
I wanted to show you how much I'd care for you
Love and look after you when you're old too
I wanted you to see that I'd not be a burden
Do just as much as your son would do
However it's too late to proof before you
As you've already made up your mind
to end my life
Now though my heart no longer beats
I can't hear, breathe or feel a thing too
lastly before leaving this place
I wanna request to my mom
In my next life I wish to see myself as your daughter
So don't cry for me my mom
I am always with you
I may walk away from your life now
However not from your dream & life
As I wasn't meant to live on earth
My god has given me this much life span
So I have to say goodbye to all

Dear Sweta, i cried after reading your poem. in india they are killing girls when they are born or they abort girl fetus. it is so pathetic. it is terrible crime. you pictured it so well my dear. i cried. you have a rare ability to picture such terrible emotions into words. thank you very much God bless you

it hurt me badly when doctor cut me know of pieces...in such a well-written poem i hate to see what i think are careless mistakes. ....i refer to know of pieces. maybe this is understood/acceptable somewhere, but the use of know here seems like an error. it certainly is a passionate plea to end the abortion of girl babies, but i do question some of your facts. i am pro-choice though i do not ridicule those who are pro-life. i don't care for the form of the poem [it seems too much like prose], but due to the flow and good construction i give it a good grade. thanks for sharing. :)
