poem - I did not ask/want to be born

[yennimimi]

Does anyone know of a poem called something like 'I did not ask to be born' or 'I did not want to be born'? It's about how we fear birth before we are born, and we shouldn't fear death because it also takes us to a better place.

[MagsE]

Could it be Prayer Before Birth by Louis McNiece?

I am not yet born; O hear me.
Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the
club-footed ghoul come near me.

I am not yet born, console me.
I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me,
with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me,
on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.

I am not yet born; provide me
With water to dandle me, grass to grow for me, trees to talk
to me, sky to sing to me, birds and a white light
in the back of my mind to guide me.

I am not yet born; forgive me
For the sins that in me the world shall commit, my words
when they speak me, my thoughts when they think me,
my treason engendered by traitors beyond me,
my life when they murder by means of my
hands, my death when they live me.
