MY FIRST LETTER
I was born of a woman
She screamed me into existence
Only by her strong will
Not by anybody's design
Do not reject nor accept me
It's no prerogative of yours
I desire to go about life's tasks
Not by anybody's craft
I have a right to exist
I treasure myself most highly
Give me a decent chance of success
And I won't let it pass
This is my first letter to you
I'm screaming myself into existence
Live and let me live
And accept that I exist
She screamed me into existence
Only by her strong will
Not by anybody's design
Do not reject nor accept me
It's no prerogative of yours
I desire to go about life's tasks
Not by anybody's craft
I have a right to exist
I treasure myself most highly
Give me a decent chance of success
And I won't let it pass
This is my first letter to you
I'm screaming myself into existence
Live and let me live
And accept that I exist

This poem is interesting in the way its written. When I read, I see photographs or I see scenes unfold before me; and here I see the arrogance of a newly born child; a demand to be accepted even before it had tried to live; thats the message I get from this poem.

solid use of setting. (and) is never capitalized.
u could even eliminate it(and)from the last phrase n it would read stronger... neat concept for subject matter.. religious without a single mention of such things
