mom, im crying out for your help
hoping you will protect me
mommy why must you harm me?
i havent done anything, i cant even see
is it my fault that daddy wont stay?
would it be too terrible to bear
if you would let me live?
wont you say you care
did they tell you that im a girl,
or that i have characteristics just as you?
mommy i cant take back what happened,
you kno thats true.
please dont let them kill me,
it wasnt my fault mommy.
and if you think your doing whats right
then ask yourself, what if it was me?
im not just a little thing inside of you
my heart beat is steady
i breath with you too
youd ruin that because your not ready?
mommy, please just let me live
im just a helpless child now
please dont ruin that
please, please! find it in your heart somehow.
