A child born within innocence,
Within the innocence of a mistake.
In case of "forgotten" protection,
An accident, burden... A mistake.
A baby who'll never know love,
Of a mother who's never known love...
A baby who'll never know life,
From a mother who gives her no chance.
A child who's first name was garbage,
The mistake of an abortion gone wrong,
A person, a human, a forgotten soul...
Who can't tell you the pain that she bears.
A child in the ally-way dumpster,
Just another, of many a case...
A child who's first name was garbage...
An accident.... A mother's mistake...
-Rebecca Suzanne Zimmerman
