I am

[K.M Roberston]

My pale hands spread out over my growing stomach; I am scared
Rain falls and hits them hard
It feels too strange and out of place
I am child, baring a child….

It’s my fault…that’s what you tell me

I hate you,
I am the one that had my youth stolen
I am the one that is never going to have a normal life again
I am the one that gets those disapproving looks everywhere I turn
I am the one who’s alone in all this

But who needs you?
You would only make this worse
You would never understand
You tell me to get rid of it
I slap you hard; the only person I am getting rid of is you

My pale hands spread out over my growing stomach; I am strong

the passion of anger just reverberates, and the line "the only person I am getting rid of is you," simply resonates the overall theme.

The intensity of desperateness is really shockingly beautiful. This poem is too explicit and it is more like prosaic. But simplicity has a beauty of its own and it is evident in this poem very beautifully.

I write poetry like this too. It's important to be able to express your ideas as you see fit. I agree with Blaze that it is explicit, but who can really judge if it is the best way to express yourself. I think in the case of the level of extremity found in the poem's theme, explicitness works.

These lines were very powerful to me:
My pale hands spread out over my growing stomach; I am scared
Rain falls and hits them hard
It feels too strange and out of place
I am child, baring a child….
