#1018 carrying thoughts

men receive a multitude of unwritten rights for the simple unintentional act of being born with one   
          extra external part, from
inside a woman we call mother

carrying life is something i will never "get" or get to do
and i'm okay with that, having
realized the pain of secondary loss, having
realized it twice
i have the luxury of wondering if i
am capable of handling a success, but i have the certainty of knowing i am incapable of handling a
      failure, having
gone through this twice, both times
ending with the acrimonious, not the acronymous, but in the caustic subject of this acrostic
