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.

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.. :'))
