A Mother's Hardest Decision

This is an event she can't wrap around her head
She should've given the drink the man had given her a second thought
She woke up and he left her for dead
She had no bottoms on and there was no way she could've fought

She took a test two months later
She looked down and it was undeniable
She wanted to become her own operator
Because of a government that's so unreliable

A decision too hard for anyone to make
But either way people are going to look down in disappointment
How much of this should she be allowed to take?
So instead she makes an appointment

Now the fatherless child is somewhere with no pain
But the mother is crying about her decision in the rain

Deep, exceptionally so. Well written. I would never look down on someone for making that decision. Personally I feel a child needs to be born by love to be loved.

That is exactly what I believe. The main reason I wrote this was to show people this isn't an easy decision to make. It's usually a last resort for people, and a lot of people live with guilt every day. This is only one of the variety of scenarios that happy. Either way it is a heartbreaking decision nobody wants to make. Thank you for your thoughts! -Kye :)
