Rage. Pregnant with fury. How could the birth be beautiful? The labor pains are agony. Knives ripping out my insides. Blood. With your sigh of pleasure, I lose my last drop of life. My hands are scarlet with shame. Naked I stand in the night breeze. Ivory curves and dead eyes. Sorrow. Stripped of dignity. I try to hold my shaking hands still. I feel unworthy to meet your gaze. My humiliation haunts me. Empty.

Naked.
Rage. Pregnant with fury. How could the birth be beautiful? The labor pains are agony. Knives ripping out my insides. Blood. With your sigh of pleasure, I lose my last drop of life. My hands are scarlet with shame. Naked I stand in the night breeze. Ivory curves and dead eyes. Sorrow. Stripped of dignity. I try to hold my shaking hands still. I feel unworthy to meet your gaze. My humiliation haunts me. Empty.
