My Birth


I am abruptly revealed to the world
My warm safe haven has been consumed
By the voices and the light

People are weeping with elation
Why are they so overwrought?
With such emotion

I had to emerge
My time had come

People are mesmerized
By the sight of me
They don’t see the blood
The gore and the grunge

Sensation, my foremost
The world looking downward

Figures gazing at me
I see them through the haze

I recognize her voice
It’s been my music, my anticipation

I hear her lament
Gaping at the unsightly
The normal, the flesh

Assuming I was the prize
The ultimate, the trophy

But appearance so vital
External guise so essential

My sanctuary, my shelter
Had been ripped away
