A Child Birthed for Love

Sarah grew up alone.

With no siblings

Distant parents

And no one to call her own

 

So she birthed a baby

A beautiful baby

With blue eyes

And no regret to her name

 

She grew up

And despised her mother

When she spoke

"I hate you"

Were the few words she choked out

 

Sarah laughed

A sad, self deprecating laugh

And said, with a smile and half,

 

"I had no one

I was on my own

So i decided to have you

And raise you ti'll you were grown

But you've come to resent me

And i don't know why

The child i birthed for love

Was a waste of my time"
