PREGNANT

I’m pregnant of emptiness.
I’m pregnant of doubts.
I’m pregnant of fears.
Indeed, I’m a human being.

Cannot talk,
Cannot move,
Cannot breath,
Cannot live.

I’m pregnant of ice.
I’m pregnant of steel.
I’m pregnant of a could soul
A body with petrol in veins
Instead of blood.

I’m pregnant of anger.
I’m pregnant of disease.
I’m full of nothing.
I’m a human being.
