It was dark, and the room smelled of a horrid stench, she slowly opened her eyes. They were swollen from all the crying she had been doing that she herself was unaware of.She tried to open them trying hard to bring her blurred vision into clarity.Surprised to find herself in a strange place she looked around anxiously.
The room wasn't ventilated enough nor did it look like the ones she knew before.She never knew any home before.
She slowly made a move to step out of her bed, she winced in pain as her nerves tightened at the attempt. The feeling struck like a lightening bringing her back to her senses.She gave birth to a baby yesterday.Just Yesterday!
All the thoughts came rushing into her mind.
Her eyes widened at the frightening realisation that her baby is not with her. Her dream of many tomorrows, and the innocent yesterdays is now gone. She couldn't move against the command of her sore body, but the haunting thought of the abandonment of her child made her fight her unyielding nerves.
They took it away, she doesnt know if its a boy or a girl.
She can hear it cry,tears were flowing down her cheeks.She knows its hungry,her aching chest told her that it has to be fed and soon.
She leaned against the wall to drag herself to strength, looking everywhere for a small bundle of clothes.Nothing did her tired eyes wanted to see but that,nothing else.
No its here somewhere,just here.Its not far. They were hiding it from her.
She was still calling out and as she came close they took it further away from her.She saw her baby in her own eyes, twas small and wrapped in white clothes, closed eyes, and those tiny little hands, she saw it sleeping in silent peace.
And suddenly with a jerk she was pushed into reality, it was a vision.
They are still hiding it from her, further and further away she followed her instincts as far her strength could carry her and she went on calling after her child.
So she went on and on until she found her child led by another vision or another whisper in the dark or in her imagination.
And then I opened my eyes,I felt terrible, never did any dream of mine pull my heart with so much gravitated pain. I dont know what it means, but it definitely doesn signify something I guess
