~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, mommy.
You don’t know about me yet
I am just a few weeks old.
Soon I am going to be yours
Your one and only.
I already love you mommy
A lot.
Today you told daddy
About me. He didn’t sound happy.
But you were though,
So its okay.
But daddy hit you.
I could feel it.
I could feel your hands flying to protect me.
Why are you crying mommy?
It makes me sad.
He is a bad man mommy.
I’ll take care of you.
Now you can see me
You are happy looking at your big tummy.
It makes me happy too.
I love your voice mommy,
It makes me feel safe.
Thank you for singing
To me every day.
I love you mommy.
Today daddy came to see you.
He hit you again mommy
He said I was wrong.
What did i do?
Am I really wrong mommy?
You don’t sing to me anymore
Why is that?
But you still touch your belly
And I giggle.
I love that mommy.
Today I am a big baby.
I am 20 months old.
You are taking me somewhere new.
Are we celebrating mommy?
Mommy I can’t hear you
Is everything alright?
Tell me you love me
I want to feel safe.
Mommy! It hurts!
What are they doing to me?
Make them stop!
I am alright now.
It’s ok mommy.
I am in heaven.
But why did you send me here?
Did I do something wrong?
Do you also hate me mommy?
I love you.
Take me back. I want to grow up.
To see your beautiful face.
Don’t you love me? i do.
I am sorry if I did anything wrong.
I love you, mommy.

You did something that I rarely do, your piece brought tears to my eyes. Only con I have an im killing myself for even finding one is make sure your lower case i's are I's you'll get a lot of grief if you don't.

Now onto this im going to be quite honest. While your lines are short and simple told the story and painted a beautiful picture. You make the reader go on a emotional rollercoaster. Your last line though was brilliant.
I loved how each stanza told a different side of the babies life from beginning to end it was amazing
You are incredible writer what I saw here and I can't wait to read more from you.
P.S may send a riot to that father, I already have the hounds at the ready just need your go
Okay hello, I read I want to Be Punished No More Daddy(long title) and I thought these two things would be connected. The genre is though. I started reading it and it was so sweet and I almost cried then when I got to the part about the dad I was a little mad and teary. So as I was reading this the thought slipped through my mind about an abortion especially since it was too late and I was really sad to find that she(it's a she right?) died.
It's a good poem but I can't say it was touching the beginning and maybe middle was but yeah. Also I'd like to know what it was you read.(Even though this is a very late review)
thanks for the reviews.
thank you adriana. i think i should have added a few more commas. thanks for the help.
and i made a pretty big mistake in the poem.
20 months was supposed to be 20 weeks. but i guess it doesnt effect the poem much.
What an amazing poem!!
Seriously, I love how you make the time pass at each stanza. But I really think there are missing commas...
I put some commas where I thought there should be one, please take a look and say if you agree. I love that final and the "Are you celebrating, mom?".
Congratulations for this poem. It is amazing.
Keep writing!!
Awww... that was so touching!
It made me want to cry. You really have a talent for expressing emotions. I salute you for that. Throughout the poem, you kept writing 'mommy' to tell the readers that it's a little child who is talking here. And you flawlessly showed the bond between a mother and her child. The mother loves her child so much that she protects it with her life. Beautiful piece. Do post more poems. You're a very talented writer.
