Half Birthed Poem by Brian Apollo

Half Birthed

Rating: 5.0


This is the first time I ever opened my eyes
The floods flushed away all my cries.
Lying comfy in this warm bed chamber.
My life, so far, is tied to this loving member.
Sometimes I hear singing, other times laughing
When something pokes me, I come back kicking
Some may not like it, but I truly do
I feel secure and I get full attention too.
My belly stays full. In my mind, not a care
Just snug up here, curled in this lair.
My arms are very weak, but getting stronger.
My legs are very short, but getting longer.
I am beginning to hear sounds, some I remember
One voice in particular I hear over and over.

Dang... What is this? I really can't decipher.
Something big is grabbing me, turned me in my chamber.
I'm too weak to fight and too weak to struggle
Point blank, I'm losing ground in this massive tussle.
I do not know what is really going on.
My feet is feeling cold and is straight gone
Out of my chamber. Next was my body and arms
Leaving only my head. Then it turned me around in harm
And without caution. I'm in sheik and utter terror
As a humongous needle pierced the back of my member.
Hot pain hit me hard, Aah! My neck!
My whole body shivered. What the heck!
This needle jammed through my neck to my head.
Then the suction began. I cried and bled.
Pain overwhelms me, making my gums rattle
Wanting to beg for life, all I could do was babble.
I'm shaking, this pain is unbearable
All I want to do is to just scream in terror
What did I do wrong? Was I bad? If so, I'm sorry.
After the quick procedure, I was dead. End of story.
The doctor tossed my deceased body in a garbage can.
While my 17 year old mom was chewing gum and she laughed.
... I was her third
