Happy birthday to me

25/06  Same day I came to life

Same day I turned 9 months old inside a fetus, a home

Same day I turned 1 day old outside, into a world, into a phase

Same day mother cried out loud in pain

Same day I cried out, grasping for air

Same day mother stitched the cruelty, the mess I’ve made on my way out

Same day I learned to look for food, a cord is no longer my feed

Same day I smelled the air of a poisoned world

Same day I taste the bitter sweetness of a white liquid

Same day I heard the “Takbir” in my right ear

Same day I eyed faint lighted blindness,

If I had  known better, as a sperm, I wouldn’t have rushed to the egg, unfortuanely

If I had known better I wouldn’t have stepped out

If I had known better I would have clenched to my fetus

If I had known better I would have slept there in peace

If I had known better I would have never stopped crying the day I came to the world

If I had known better I would have kept my breathe the time I seed

If I had known better I would take those little first steps

If I had known better I would have gone strike against food, vitamins, calcium, iron

If I had known better I would have kept my words indeed

If I had known better I would have learned the secret to immortality

If I had known better I would have memorized the future I saw back in the fetus

If

If only I had known better
