Aborted Child

You said I was a dumbass cause I kept your unborn child You sexing me like an animal, your going wild You gave me three hundred dollars and walked away Like a dumbass, nothing to say I had a decison to make about whether to keep our unborn child So much going through my mind, my thoughts going crazy Never thinking about our baby! I became a woman with an unborn child inside me I couldn't talk to my mother, my mother put me in the streets Sitting on the corner thoughts so deep After hours of crying my eyes out I slept a little, but could not sleep The worst thing to think about was bringing our unborn child's life to an end Even before it begins I decided to keep my unborn child and let it have a chance What was I thinking living in my life's circumstance No father around I was confused and dazed I had to also wonder where I'd stay I went through the delivery, pain and the up's and down's Sometimes regretting why I kept it around I don't know what's going through my head One minute I loved it then the next wishing it dead Is this the thoughts of a mother to hate it more each day All I can do is pray for these thoughts to go away I think because I hate it's father, but what does that do It makes me hate a child who had nothing to do with what I wanted and it was only you! I hated it cause it's his child and I knew he hated it too! What parents want an abortion? A dumbass like me and you No feelings, no emtions or motherly love It's our child and we're suppose to love Our aborted child who still lives The saddest part is he became a man without a mother or father He tried to not let our not loving him be a bother You were apart of me and you; mine and yours Something we should adore Never figured out me, never stopped hating you The tragedy is our child who I can never say really smiled We both failed him and all we can do is thing about our lives What about his life and all you can say "You decided to keep him it's your problem even today!!!!"

Sammette, what a brutally tragic poem. Children are quite beautiful and can outlive and be more happy than having one parent than you think. There are children with both parents who live together but hate each other, I know you know that. Children can be enormously happy. They don't care about our mistakes our mistakes or lost loves. Your child is a child., and a blessing to you. Panagiota Romios
