no big deal?


your heartbeat racing and you palms still sweating but its no big deal they say. and you wake up guilty and you feel so dirty but its no big deal anyway. when your belly's swelling with his child, he don't want it is it no big deal again? and you cant keep it, but you feel it kicking, struggling to live. but its no big deal, not yet. you lie on the table and they tear it from you- and you never imagined such pain; but its no big deal, its early they tell you. when your heart is racing from the nightmare that happened it was no big deal. OK? and hes gone, will not see you, he had his fun with you but its no big deal, you say. your heartbeat racing from the pills your taking, and your body never made such sweat. but its no big deal, you'll forget. protection broken, a new heart is beating, and here you are again. but its no big deal, not yet. you cant afford it, don't know how you'll do it, but this time you let her stay. But its no big deal, its his. he is gone so fast your cant remember his face, to your friends, you are disgrace born is his spitting likeness but she is your big deal, you see. you protect her, when she hears its no big deal,from society.
