Womb

[kittypaws]

Born in the womb
A warm, secure place.
Months of such pleasures,
Then forced into this world.

Oh how I would return to the womb
Things were simple
Now life is full of strife,
Bare of simple pleasures.

My entrance into this world
Were my eyes open and alert,
Or squinting cuz of light
Heart beating in fright.

I must have had some thoughts
As to what this was all about.
And if I did I probably wished
To return my cozy origin.

Life comes at us hard
We grow into whatever is shaped
Sometimes not as we want to be
But what we are meant to be.

wow, I love this piece, especially Then forced into this world. Makes the narrator sound so helpless and so insecure but quite angry at the same time.

:)

loved the ending. We certainly are what we are meant to be. :)

Thank you, Skia for your comment and taking the time to read.

I think after nine months of being in a wonderful place I probably was angry and definitly feeling insecure being pushed out into the world.

Hey there Kitty, I'm still angry... I'd do anything to go back. Good one.

There are a few grammatical errors, but your message and thought came across loud and clear. I particularly liked the ending of what we were meant to be as it seems there is no escaping that one.
cheers
