Midwifery

I’ve done the math, like, a thousand times 
And it told me I can’t find it in any of my rhymes
But it’s still pushes me to let the words go
Some kind of childbirth I’ll never know
As we go into the throws of labour
Could you do me a favor
And stop throwing empty words
Against the wall of already been heard
And it’s a tired tale
Told by those who are up for sale
But I’m not one to barter a trade
Throwing light in the shade
That protects your skin
Do you think I should let him in?
