The Equation
Memories from 2020:
I was reminded that a lot of us were unwanted births and that at least women (in most countries around the world) tend to have more choices today than say 20 to 50 years ago. This still doesn't make that decision easy for them. I would hope that they find peace in whatever choice they make.
The Equation
By Michelle Morris
22/04/2020
I knew a girl
Who had a baby
At eighteen;
Gave it away,
To live her
Dreams.
Freedom and
Future was
Her goal -
No baby in
The equation
To take its
Toll.
She got married;
Had lots of kids,
But memories
Of that baby
Guilt her still.
To never know
That little
Soul;
That's an
Equation
That burns her
Whole.
