Here in this World
Robotic vices clamp my dormant body,
suspending me from my embryotic womb.
Oxygen starts to choke me, I vomit the plasma substance.
Freeing my lungs I start to breathe, my body shakes and shivers.
My eyes burn from the blinding light.
The metallic smell of blood lingers in the air.
I feel something moving down my spine.
Snip, they've cut the line.
I wiggle now in a cocoon of warmth.
I sob, scared from this intrusion.
A panic scream leaves my lips, I have a voice, I am alive, here in this world.
