Abortion

ABORTION
I cant be no mother
I’m not mentally, emotionally, or physically ready
I’m not steady
My mind is shaky
A child will break me
Suffocate me
Lately ive been playing child games
My child’s name is mistake
I have so much at stake
I cant be no young mother
I just turned legal
It’s the demons that got me screaming 
I AINT READY
I AINT READY
I’m only 18 I AINT READY
Not yet a woman well not in the mind
I wanna resign from this position
A parent is not my decision
Its gonna be a collision
I have to wait for his decision
And he wants it
But I cant handle it
9 months
I cant spear that right know
My tears are flowing right know 
This is to big to for me to handle 
A life when mine aint even right
I barely know what im gonna eat tonight
This child this person in my stomach is bigger than life
And I cant handle anything bigger than my life
Lord I surrender tell me what to do
Cause im lost
I cant do it on my own
Only 18 wit no dreams
And I spent my last 10 dollars on jeans
And im suppose to do for something else
And I cant do for myself
No job
No one to help
Baby daddy only gonna do what he want
But I cant go out like that 
I cant take this no more
I gotta be a killer
I have to do the right thing 
Cause I cant fulfill this child’s dreams
Yall might think im wrong
 But this is right for me
 Cause I cant be no mother
Not me
Not today
I cant be no mother 
Not today
