Two cells collide and form into one living soul.
I am now here and my voice is so small.
Every moment that passes by, I can feel I am growing.
I am developing...learning...breathing...and getting stronger.
I hear my mother's voice so sweet and loving.
I can feel the warm touch of her hand when she rubs her belly.
She sings ever so sweetly as I am rocked gently in my internal home.
She seems pleased with who I am becoming.
I am now stronger and my voice is getting louder.
Everyone knows I am coming soon and they are all waiting.
I am lulled into a peaceful hypnotic state by the rhythm of the music...our two heartbeats make.
I hear my mother's voice but it is changing.
I don't feel her warm and loving touch as often.
I need to move around to let her know I am still here.
I am still developing...learning...breathing...and waiting.
Just waiting.
I hear my mother's voice so frightened and sad.
Did I do something wrong?
I don't feel her warm and loving touch anymore.
I need to emerge into the physical life stream.
She needs to hold me...to touch me...to see me...to know I am real.
I have a voice, it just not being heard.
I hear the voice of strangers and noises I am not familiar with.
Can my mother hear my voice so frightened and so sad?
No one is speaking for me, therefore I have no voice.
I was excited when the two cells collided.
I was excited to just 'Be'.
Excited to go on a wonderful journey and to give joy and love to all who will know me.
Things are changing.
I no longer hear any voices.
I have been erased...voided...deleted...discarded for eternity.
I did not ask to come into being.
I was not asked to come into death.
I had a voice, but no one listened...not even the one who nourished me.
I will no longer give love and joy to those who will know me.
I will only give sorrow and pain to the one who knew me...
For all eternity.

Poetry: Unheard voices
Stoic, I claim I know your inner pain,
Stone faced to the world, yet inside,
Your heart is a wreck, your soul is in turmoil,
by Shen-Li Lee
You entered my life so silently, unknowingly, so secretly.
I greeted you with disbelief, resentment, and bitterness.
Callously,
Each generation has its voice
For everything spoken there's a million voice repressed
Such is the world we live
Is this what
Don't Forget Me
When you worship your God the way you choose,
Don't forget me.
When you vote for you President.
Let me die
before I wake,
so that the Lord may
have my soul to take.
The wish I want,
you will make;
so let me die
before
