Baby Girl
baby girl
eyes like diamonds
curly tendrils
frame your chubby face
sweet
innocent
unsuspecting
of how much you are hated
your mother asks for forgiveness
because of how you got here
yet father turns his back
on you
leaving you two alone
she never meant to hurt him
it was one night
one moment
but all he saw
was that your eyes
came out gray
and his are brown
so out you two go
into the coldness of scorn and scandal
but you will survive
little one
to show them all
that who you come from
and how you got here
does not make your world
you
do
