I Kept It
so i kept it
9 months in me
we connected
everyday i had to make sure i was happ so it wouldnt be affected
sleepless nights feeling sick and it was because of it
sometimes id regret changing my mind on having it aborted
and everytime i did
it would kick
slowly joy would run deep in my heart
even though i didnt want it
it chose me to be its mom
an ammature
unemployed,confused,young girl
with no direction.
i kept it
i have nothing visible to give to it
just my love
which is not pure enough
for a gift like it.
i kept it
but i lost me
i became such a mess that the only thing that rang in my head was death
i sat down and depression sat next to me
my last thought was
"im going to keep it,give birth to it but im not going to stay with it"
i was unfit to mother it
and so after holding it
i kissed it
hugged it
and i left it
my son ...
i left you
in the arms of my mom
who's going to love you
i thought i was going to better for you as an angel and so i went to heaven and left you.
