The Mother Paid

In the cold of winter, a newborn shivers just born
I'm unable to cry, the tears are frozen in my eyes
I long to live and escape this world, but I cannot
When I was alive, all I was able to feel was scorn
I'm unwilling to suffer more, and wear a disguise
Staring into a black night, my words reveal naught
But I gave you my body, gave you a chance for life
Now as I am fading, I pray, you seize the moment
And learn to love, learn to forgive, and then live
