Nompilo Lady Fair Cele Poet I do not know?

Abortion

Dear baby
You came at the wrong time
And at the wrong place
Its not your fault but its mine
Its not just about you
But about my life too
I would love to hold you in my arms sing to you 
till u sleep
I would love to kiss your cheeks,tickle your 
stomach and hear the melody of laughter.
But I can't not now
I can't change your diapers
I can't even buy you diapers
I can't stay up all night
Worrying about your next meal
Oh and your Father
He can't either
About us he doesn't bother
I feel you inside of me moving
Comforting me every time 
I feel sad
I wanna keep you but my circumstances don't 
allow me
You too young to understand
Even I still don't understand
Maybe one day I'll forgive myself
But I can't keep you
Through my lack of common sense
Without a condom I had sex
And now I have to abort you
But I could never terminate the existence of you 
in my life
EmotionaLly n spiritually.
You came at the wrong time
Wrong womb
And I'm sorry for choosing my life over Yours.

Aiyah Torres March 31, 2014 at 8:46 AM Nompilo.. this is the saddest poem i've ever read.. WHY?.. 1st; it's about baby' 2nd; it's about death... if this one's for real.. i'll tell you baby... hope its not yet late... I was 17 when i got pregnant, i don't know yet how to hold a baby, how to deal w/ swings of emotions, buy her a diapers, ....i even thought of losing her, too. ... but when i feel her movement inside my womb, I changed my mind.. i told myself that I will keep her, then treasure her... now, she's 10.. :')) Aiyah Torres March 31, 2014 at 8:49 AM don't be a killer... it's fine to be a young mom.. than to be called as single lady who'd been a killer once in her life.. :')) every life is a blessing...^_^ .. love your poem.. thanks for the courage to reveal it w/ us.. :'))
