I didn't ask to be born....
<p>I didn't ask to be born you know ..........</p><p><br/></p><p>You lost too many babies, you cried up to the heavens asking "why you?", saying people would mock you.</p><p>You went on your knees crying while praying. I heard your cries and calling so I took pity and decided to come and give you joy.</p><p>Finally making you a mother, now none calls you barren.</p><p>Opening doors to other children.</p><p><br/></p><p>You careful picked out names for me, names that speaks of your hope and struggles.</p><p>Later, on I as I grew up, your eyes no longer light up when I am around, you stopped smiling up at me.</p><p>You stopped calling me oluwabusayomi " God adds to my joy"</p><p><br/></p><p>Slowly, I became the troublesome child, the black sheep.</p><p>In your eyes I just wanted your attention, I was too demanding.</p><p>You forgot how you cried and begged for me to come.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wasn't rebellious, I wasn't too much and neither was I a curse. I wasn't born by mistake, I came because you asked for me, because I wanted to shut the mouths of your enemies. You were just too lazy to love me, too lazy to sit and try to understand me. I just wanted your love too.</p><p><br/></p><p>I became the least favorite, the born by mistake.</p><p>I tried to please you, to get you to like me and be the favorite, but your mind was already made up, I can't ever make you happy </p><p>You always performed your duties as my mother, food in my belly, my education going well, I had clothes to cover my body, a roof over my head.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's never enough you know that, it could never be the look of hatred was like a knife in my heart.</p><p>The wishes that I could disappear so you could finally breath.</p><p><br/></p><p>You spoke words a mother should never say to a child. You said how you wish you never had me, you spoke about how I ruined your life for just being me. Your words watering the seeds of the trauma growing in me. Your actions and choices finally made me decide that I would do better, I won't be a mother like you. </p><p>I didn't want to be born, your tears moved me, your prayer were sincere, I didn't choose to come here but you called me and I answered.</p>
