dont know if this makes sense or not...but there it is newayz...

i heard you crying
all alone
a call for help
with chances slim

i heard you dying
in the dark
a womb of protection
from yourself

i heard you asking
'why me?'
an unanswerable question
asked anyways

i heard you whispering
'God, save me'
a question of trust
or a plee of mercy

i heard you saying
'thank you, God'
a mircale sent
when chances were slim


“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

Just leave me alone and give me some space.

Well done here tiff but not your best.
Still a good read!  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I gleaned several different messages from this poem.  One was with regards to abortion.  Although I do not agree with the notion of intelligence on the part of a foetus, this still conveyed that same message that Peretti's Tilly conveyed.  I also gleaned a message of hope for patients with debilitating disseases.  Perhaps the poem described one such patient.  Finally, I gleaned a message of hope for those afflicted with sociological and psychological problems.  Perhaps it was addressed to a person on the streets, living in complete defiance, but at the same time scared to death of the future and of the world around him/her.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

*Sniffles*  That was sad, Tiff.  Here I was thinking you were all perky!  *Pokes you*  Though, I suppose our inner thoughts are best conveyed through poetry.

Anyways, I liked it.  You're a much more in depth person than I perceived you to be.  (I'm not saying you're shallow!  Just happy!)  *Phew~*  Don't hurt me for that one!  

Keep up the great composing!

As did fractal007- My first thought was abortion. And like Fracta- I don't think the fetus thinks...Just my opinion though.
Anyway- Nice poem.

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.
