Abortion
The day I found out,
I was pregnant.
I thought of abortion.
I wasn't ready to,
take the responsibility.
I wasn't finished my studies yet.
The day my boyfriend found out,
I was pregnant.
He thought of abortion.
He wasn't ready to,
become a young father.
He didn't have a job to support us.
The day my parents found out,
I was pregnant.
They thought abortion wasn't the solution.
They were so mad, wanted to kill me.
They were disappointed.
It made me think of suicide.
The day my friends found out,
I was pregnant.
They knew I wanted to abort it.
They thought abortion is evil.
They got mad at me and,
told me to let the baby live.
The day they found out,
I had an abortion.
They desperately kicked me,
out of their lives forever.
For them, I was a big sinner.
I guiltily lived life alone.
