‘Reading back’
Reading back
To see all the love my mother recieved
As she was pregnant with me
June 4th 2010 I was attended
When her pregnancy finally ended
I feel a surge of relief
That my mother had so many people with belief
Belief that I came out well
Although it was quite like hell
Sadness came to me as I realise
That I almost didnt make it out alive
Goodness! I must've scared her
As I didnt come out in a whirr
Doctors repeating I wouldn't make it
Knowing my mother wouldn't take it
Here I am, alive now
Writing poetry on write out loud
Just like my mother would have done now
