Abortion

ABORTION I cant be no mother I’m not mentally, emotionally, or physically ready I’m not steady My mind is shaky A child will break me Suffocate me Lately ive been playing child games My child’s name is mistake I have so much at stake I cant be no young mother I just turned legal It’s the demons that got me screaming I AINT READY I AINT READY I’m only 18 I AINT READY Not yet a woman well not in the mind I wanna resign from this position A parent is not my decision Its gonna be a collision I have to wait for his decision And he wants it But I cant handle it 9 months I cant spear that right know My tears are flowing right know This is to big to for me to handle A life when mine aint even right I barely know what im gonna eat tonight This child this person in my stomach is bigger than life And I cant handle anything bigger than my life Lord I surrender tell me what to do Cause im lost I cant do it on my own Only 18 wit no dreams And I spent my last 10 dollars on jeans And im suppose to do for something else And I cant do for myself No job No one to help Baby daddy only gonna do what he want But I cant go out like that I cant take this no more I gotta be a killer I have to do the right thing Cause I cant fulfill this child’s dreams Yall might think im wrong But this is right for me Cause I cant be no mother Not me Not today I cant be no mother Not today By: Tania Steed
