As I layed one morning
I knew it was my baby
There was something wrong
I hadn't told anyone
How could i?
I was thirteen
I had to get away
Walk away from home
I had to truely be alone
The park i used to play at
As a little girl
In that toilet
that dirty, dark toilet
In that tiny cubicle i chose,
Back against the wall.

Did i know what was happening?

Fear embraced my body
Three months early
She was coming
And i knew it.
Too terrified to move

The pain.
I'll never forget.

Ten tiny fingers and toes
Her blood-covered face
Her lifeless body
Pushed into this ugly hell
A puddle of my blood and urine
Surrounded my exhausted body.

Wrapped in my jacket
Skye was laid to rest
No one could know until i was ready

One day.

Maybe i'll be ready to let her go

that was raw, honest, intense... I got chills. and if there is any truth to it, my heart goes out to you (or whomever it is about).

Our scars are the foundation for what we have become

I read this, this morning.

I walked away from my computer.

As MM said, it was very intense.

I loved while hating it at the same time, as I knew by the writing it was real.

I'm one who keeps things within my mind, I'll forever look up to the Skye.

To get something so emotional like that into words... I'm in awe.

K~
This is a really sad, sad event that would be difficult for one so young to 'get over' without the support of family~

You say that -
"Wrapped in my jacket
Skye was laid to rest
No one could know until i was ready"

May I ask if Skye was laid to rest in a burial ceremony, or what happened to the lifeless baby ?

Were you able to let your family know ?

Very intense. Pain seemed to radiate off the page.
I want to thank you for sharing this experience and I am truly and deeply sorry you had to go through this. You sound like one of the strongest people I know to be able to experience that by yourself, to continue on, and then to express it in words. I will remember your poem and your Skye.
Amazing poem

thank you everyone for the replies.

Marge- no, i only wish that she was layed to rest in a ceremonial burial.
But i had placed her in a dumpster with my jacket, at 13 i didn't know this was illegal, i was terrified and extremely messed up and didnt want anyone to know about her.
But now the only way i feel i can visit her is in my dreams. I'll never forget her face.
