I know its not that good i just like the message..here it is

Now I can’t help but think
About the life that could have been
Or the future that should have been
The lives he would have touched
If only, I had made another choice

I think about his first day of school
Who would be his best friend?
Does the friend now feel something missing?
Does he know
That someone,
That I
Stole his friend away?

Or what about his prom date
Is she now dateless?
The day of prom
Will she cry in her bed?
Wishing her soul mate was there
Does she know,
that her soul mate will never be
And never was
All because of me?

I think that maybe,
This choice wasn’t rightfully mine to make
That this life
I shouldn’t have a choice to take
This baby,
This baby that I killed
Was innocent
It was put here
By my doings
Why should another life suffer
But mine?

This future that could have been
Is now forever changed

Now I know,
Its not just about “my body”
Because this life that I took
I didn’t just take from me
I took it from this world
This choice,
It shouldn’t have been mine
Because it wasn’t my body at all
It was a life,
A soul
Of another human being
In need of love and a place to grow
And the day he died
Apart of me died too
This future that could have been
Has now ended
Before it started

*i dont mean to offend anyone. This was kinda inspired by a talk with Albert so thanks

wow...touchy subject.....I personally think that a woman sould have the right to choose, keeping abortion safe and legal is important....missusing it as a form of birth control makes me sick. I see stories on tv about girls who put their babies in dumpsters and I cry and ache....why didn't they get an abortion if they weren't able to care for this baby? Why didn't they give it up for adoption???? My mind reels....I don't personally think I could ever get an abortion...but ohh never say never....sometimes it gets tested....I've learned that the hard way....mainly, if it is a choice that you don't want to make....then keep your legs closed. Harsh??? No, not at all....it's reality.

SO as you can see...this stirred up some emotions in me.....LOL sorry to rant.....

I thought it was a great poem....

OH man.....this was so sad.....*hugs* Well all I can say is that it was written nicely. This topic seems too fragile to comment about...I never do anyway.
Well done on the poem. Hope to see more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

At first i was like ..."what happened?!?!?!" then i realized it was about abortion when i read further on. I thought this was an amazing piece and a wonderful topic to write about although it can be a sensative spot to some. Something like this is kinda going on in my life but not to me..i completely agree with your message and i do think abortion is wrong but never say never cuz if i get in that situation i dont know what i would do. Great job
