The World Outside Poem by Ayesha A R

What was that?
Probably nothing
Thought i was falling
NO! I am falling

Where am i going?
This is so scary
That place has everything
I always wanted

Am still falling
Leaving this cozy place
So secure, so warm, so much love
And so very much protected

Will i see this place again?
And oh! The voice that talks
To me day and night....
I'll miss that sweet voice

Am out already! What world
Is this? How cruel this place is?
How can everyone laugh
When i cry...

NO! This the cruelest thing
Done to me! How can they
Cut my feeding tube!
What else will they be taking from me?

Why am I being handed
From person to person
Why can’t they just leave me alone?
No! Not again…

Haven’t they noticed?
Am still crying. Am hungry.
No one understands me
I wanna go back.

“Oh! My baby.” I stopped crying.
The voice. That sweet voice.
I looked around and saw her
Oh my God! She is an angel!

“Don’t worry, mommy is here”
I kept on looking at her
She was smiling, yet she had
Tears in her eyes.
What kind of emotion is that?

She held me close to her heart.
That coziness, that security,
That warmth, that love
And the very protection
Was all there when
She held me close to her heart...
