questions: do you want me?

do you want me?
                am I worth the effort and the cost?
                am I worth the sacrifice of things you love?
                                would you surrender freedoms,
                                passions, joys—
                                                to purchase meals and clothes
                                                and children’s toys?
                                or would you let me go at your first chance—
                                push me off on someone else, and run
                                                into the waiting arms of your life’s plan
                                                from before your daughter came along?
