LET ME OUT

I lay in amniotic fluid 
swimming for nine months 
attached by a life line
Which keeps my tummy full 
With all my daily nutrients 
Given from my mum   

On the ultrasound
 you might see me frowning 
sometimes I raise a hand
and give a cheeky wave 
just letting you know I’m still here 
I’m being very brave 
It’s time to let me out 
so upside down I turn 
my  head against the cervix 
I see the light I yearn

Being pushed now
Body squeezed real tight  
Like a melon through a straw 
my whole body moves forward 
towards an open door 

A sudden rush follows 
As my water dissipates
Heart beat rises slightly
As  cant breath no more
Hurry up mother 
Get me through that door   

pressure now building 
just around my head 
bright lights now blinding 
my first sight is her bed 

Feel like I am flying 
as I’m whisked through the air 
then wrapped in something 
soft and warm
feels like some one 
really cares  

In  some one’s arms now 
My vision very blurred 
Here’s your son I heard 
Guess she is my mother 
The connection is so strong 

I raise my tiny hand 
And explore my brand new world 
place it on my mother’s cheek
feels wet and salty
as mother starts to leak 

placed on breast to suckle 
it tastes a little warm 
and dribbles down my small form 

to leave the warmth and solitude 
to come into this madding world 
we’re everything is surreal 
but now at least I feel I belong
to a world that i have been given
