New voice message, Tuesday, 8, 59 p .m. It's me,
Am 
um, I just picked up a pregnancy test.
It came out positive.
Give me a call back
when you get this message.
Message deleted.

Em 
G 
Mommy, I'm only five weeks old,
Am 
but I can feel my heart.
The doctor says I'll see you in November,
Em 
but we're still in  March.
Am 
And by the way, Mommy,
what the doctor said's a lie.
You don't have to worry,
cause my body's developing just fine.
Em 
G 
So  please tell Daddy
Am 
that he doesn't have to cry no more.
Jesus finished with my brain,
Em 
he's working on my spinal cord
G 
Am 
Be sides, not everything
is always what it seems
D 
Am 
Why you think that when you dream,
G 
you wake up don't know what it means?
Am 
G 
So tell the world to give you space
Am 
and just let you breathe
Remember God loves you so much
that he sent you me
Sometimes you gotta laugh it off
and just let it be
Like when you thought I was a girl
and painted my new bedroom pink
Em 
Am 
I heard you cry when Daddy's
diamond -bezeled ring
Slid it off your fingers
and went right down that restroom sink
C 
Em 
Am 
And you and  Daddy began to argue
for the next two weeks
D 
But I don't know what the
Am 
problem is anymore,
G 
so I guess it's me
Em 
This is your fault, I told you,
Am 
but you just denied it
Em 
Am 
Leave me alone, get out of my face,
just be quiet
Em 
I said birth control,
Am 
and you're like, no,
Em 
Am 
we can do without it
And now? Now I'm pregnant,
Em 
so what do you want me to do
about it?
You're gonna go to the
doctors
Am 
and  have them take it out?
No
You crazy?
We can't afford the payments
that we're making now
Oh, this was meant to be
What? Why we've been going through it,
Em 
don't you get it?
Am 
The wedding ring?
Em 
You were supposed to lose
Mommy, just think,
Am 
all we got is six more months
I can't wait for you to hold me
while you think I kicked your stomach
You must be proud
Em 
cause the nurse keeps taking
Am 
pictures of me
Please tell daddy that I love it
every time he kisses your tummy
Em 
Am 
But lately mommy, honestly,
I've been feeling funny
Ever since you left your job,
got fired just for stealing money
And daddy says the cost of parenting
G 
is really something
Am 
So  I can't help but wonder,
D 
G 
Em 
do you even really want me?
G 
But that's not all because yesterday
Am 
I heard you scream
When daddy said he's leaving
you
and marriage was a worthless dream
He was a big meanie,
G 
he said a lot of hurtful things
Am 
But I still remember the one verse
D 
that you used to sing
Em 
That I'm your sunshine
Am 
and nothing can take the sun away
Em 
Am 
An  d that I make you happy,
Em 
even when the skies are gray
Am 
But if I'm inside of you,
then why do I feel miles away?
Em 
Am I really in your womb,
or just swimming in my grave?
Victoria? Yes? I like your
name. Thank you.
Am 
The doctor will see you now,
Em 
please write this way.
I'm Dr. Oz.
Am 
This will literally take half a second.
Em 
I got your chart, looks good.
I just have some questions.
So you're three months pregnant?
Yeah.
Well it barely shows,
Am 
and you left this part blank
Em 
Are you married?
Uh, no.
Am 
Now are you sure you
wanna do this?
Don't feel pressured? well - Great,
so next week, same time,
it was a real pleasure
Em 
Yesterday you were
Am 
at the doctor's office,
and I was forced to listen
I heard you tell him
Em 
that you really can't afford his visits
You said a lot of things
that kinda had me sorta trippin'
Mama, I got a question,
Am 
what is an abortion clinic?
Em 
And why do you keep crying?
Am 
What did I do to you?
I think I get it now,
G 
you don't really want me, do you?
Em 
I'll be good, I promise,
please let me just have a chance
G 
Em 
I  clean my room,
I swear you won't even have to ask
But wait a minute, mama,
this just sound kinda silly
Am 
You don't want me,
so you're gonna pay some
guy to kill me?
Em 
Five hundred dollars,
is that all I'm worth to you?
What if grandma had this done
before she ever gave birth to you?
And let me guess,
G 
daddy's gonna help
you pay for this
Am 
I'm sorry I'm an inconvenience,
I'm just a waste of skin
Em 
I'ma be with Jesus,
G 
Em 
he'll find me a place to live
I pray for you, you pray too,
that he'll wash away your sins
I love you, Mom.
Am 
Everything's gonna be okay, okay?
Em 
God has a plan for us.
Am 
I know because He told me.
Em 
He loves you, Mommy.
He talks about you all the time.
Em 
Smile, because Jesus
Em 
G 
Em 
loves you.
Em 
You're my sunshine,
my only sunshine,
you make me happy, my skies are gray,
you never know dear,
how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.
