PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have been selfish,

And I have been vain,

And I have been a chain

Smoker, drinker,

Addicted to myself,

Addicted to short fixes,

Now I have you to think about

And you,

You are all I can think about,

Sucking your thumb,

In the curve of my womb,

Oblivious to the war

And hurt of the world

And I know that soon

I must develop the courage

To bring you into this life

And let you develop your own,

But until then you can grow

Comfortably,

Within me,

And you can call me home.
