Question

Being personal is a risk everyone must take at some point.

Answer 1

NO MISTAKE

The doctor came in behind the striped curtain
whooshing back and forth,
Gave you the injection to numb and shade
in the hour after the fourth
In which the strains to bare, the struggles
to share would carry out
as it once had before.

When the pressure built between your hips,
and a moan escaped your lips,
it was time for the pillows and nurses
while dad stood by probably a bit nervous
as the distance rang with “Push! Push! Come on girl!”

And so you did with vigilance and desperation,
hastiness and concentration
till below of sudden
a screaming crying mess broke everyone's ears.

Dad cut the umbilical cord
while the infant scale was prepped,
and I was put on while someone
photographed the moment we all couldn't forget.

No mistake Ma'am -
from ashes to ashes
created intrinsically
even to the very lashes
and I suppose then I was as beautiful to you
as you say I am now?

Answer 2

I guess this is my own imaginative neurosis reflection on an event that I was a part of but of course can't really remember. I've heard stories and seen photo's of my own birth, and I suppose I only have one question and I highly wonder if in someway it will be answered someday.

Answer 3

I ask of you to understand this from a deep poetic perspective rather than a general skim over and merely moving on.
This isn't written to win an award and neither is it of any good, but its close to me and I'm taking a risk by hoping to find another of understanding.

Answer 4

I'm not having kids

Answer 5

This bluntly disgusts me, but it does show the struggle to bring life in the world, it is beautiful

Answer 6

Answer 11

@southernbelle00 @YoungStudier
Thank you both. You've no idea how I appreciate that. ♥

Answer 12

♥♥♥♥

Answer 13

Sometimes you may think your creation to be ugly and crude, but it is beautiful and valuable nonetheless, in the end, because of what it means to you and the place it has in your heart.

Answer 14

That has two meanings by the way, with you not just being you :)

Answer 15

@ShadowLegendX Thank you. That's very touching and meaningful to me. :)

Answer 16

This is really cool just as ever Atsie ^-^

Answer 17

@Atsie This is truly something everyone can be apart of because everyone goes through this (not the giving birth part) whether your the dad standing beside the bed, the nurse or doctor in the room, the family member waiting outside the room, the mom giving birth, or simply the baby being born...some are apart of it twice others only once. I was never told about the day of my birth pretty much all I know is the date I was born :/ This is something not many people would write about and you've amazed me once again of your talent.

Answer 18

@Ghostelle Thank you ever so much! I'm very humbled and inspired by those words. I agree that I am lucky to at least have some glimpse into that experience although only later in life did I realize the heaviness of what was prior to the beginning of my life. I guess I find power in simpler things and tend to express it in this way. Thank you thank you again! ^.^
