Allow Me To Be Born...And To Live..... Poem by Jyo Jottypoet

Allow me………to take a step
Please allow me…
To float a while in
My mother's womb
Oblivious of many a tomb
The living tomb that exist beyond me
So, please, please allow me.

Allow me to be born,
To be accepted, adored
Without spite, sans the scorn
To take tiny steps in balance
Allow me, inspite of my nonchalance
That air around me, allow it to be free
So, please, please allow me…

Allow me to be ‘me'
When I grow up; I should, with glee
Join school, laugh and sing
Allow me to play and dance
Force me not, for a pestering penance
To love and be loved, that's me..
So, please, please allow me

Allow me to join college in step
With my friend, if I can gel
I will make ‘years' out of a ‘date', you can test
I promise your fears would then be put to rest
Allow me, to take that bold step
Please please allow me, that one step.

Allow me to step into your shoes
Allow me to grow without woes
Allow me to speak, don't smother
Allow me also, to be a proud mother
Allow me, so I can allow that child in me
To grow and call me Mother! I am free.
