Curse that night for letting me be born, for exposing me to trouble and grief.

I wish I had died in my mother's womb or died the moment I was born.

or sleeping like a stillborn child.

Why, God, did you let me be born? I should have died before anyone saw me.

To go from the womb straight to the grave would have been as good as never existing.

We may have a hundred children and live a long time, but no matter how long we live, if we do not get our share of happiness and do not receive a decent burial, then I say that a baby born dead is better off.
