Not Ready Yet

A poem about abortion from the point of view of the child.

I'm not ready yet.
To say goodbye to you.

There are so many things that I wanted to do.
Like tell you that I love you.

Why are you letting go?
I know that you would love me if you only gave me a chance.
See I am not monster growing inside of you.

What gives you the right?
To just give up and end my life.

Are you so blind that you can not see?
That God did a miracle when you conceived me.

So just close your eyes.
Pretend I'm not alive.

All your excuses can't destroy the truth.
It's murder you are committing with your right to choose.

So I will just say good-bye.
And go up to my home in the sky.
Shattered inside.

"I know that you would love me if you only game me a chance." 'game' should be 'gave' :)

This piece was so touching Erik. I agree that abortion is killing, there is no other way of putting it. You conveyed such a tenderhearted message that even the hardest heart would soften a little after reading.
Well done!

Sometimes the brain reads over things and automatically corrects them and we don't notice. I see simple mistakes like that all the time in my work and I wonder why I didn't catch it before! I'm glad I could point it out for you.

Yeah I agree, it is murder when they do abortions...I think that women should look into having an adoption instead if they didn't want to keep the baby. I don't think it's always the woman's choice sometimes family and other people can put pressure on them to so they don't know what to do really, every story is different but the outcome is the same, they do kill.

[Erik Daniel]

I agree. Thanks for your review.
