I AM A GIFT

I am that gift which was never opened

I am that treasure which was never discovered

I am that sun which was never seen

But in the sky it has always been

I am that heart that never got a chance to beat

I am that eye that never saw your face

I am that love who never felt your tears heat

But you don't want me in any case

I am that moon which never came

I am that star which never shine

After losing me you won't feel the same

You are throwing me away like a bottle of wine

I am that thing you don't want

You didn't give me a chance to call you ''mom''

I am the thing you want no more

I am unborn baby of yours

It is a moving poem against abortion (and there are some real corking anti-abortion poems out there).

I thought I'd try my hand at a small response to yours.

I am that screwed up person who was planted with a baby.
My life spirals down the tube and I'll drag you there with me.
I resent you and I hate you, I wish you'd never come.
How many times must I say, NEVER call me mom.

Add an "s" to "star which never shine".
I love how you began this.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

nice twist at the end...and the repitition helped with the poem :)

You should change "shine" in the third stanza to shone. Unless you put it for the rhyming of wine, which I'm sure you did, but it sound funny to the ears.

WOW very deep and raw and brave....

Every child is a gift. One life lost could of been the light to send a life into the right direction. The poem tell a sad story. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

the ending made me really sad. abortion is really a hard choice but people still do it anyways without thinking twice. sad thing of reality.
