I Didnt Get A Chance. . . . .

Location

I didnt get a chance to take my first step
To own my first toy
To breathe my first breath

I didn't get a chance to be a big sister or brother
Father or mother
Son or daughter

I didn't get a chance to cry
I wasn't even given an option on whether I wanted to die

Don't you love me mommy ?
What did I do so wrong
To make you decide I couldn't hear my first song

Why make me pay for yours and daddys mistake
You didn't want me in this world but I still had a place

Doctor says just go with adoption
But my mommy's too selfish, she says its not an option

We would have been great together
I woulda been a girl
But that's all gone now
Since you say I don't belong in the world
