They say that last goodbyes
are the hardest to endure,
but they didn't count the times
when goodbye comes before hello.
A silent hospital.
A scared young girl.
A chilling decision.
The road she is about to take
is one of pain and regret,
but no one has told her
of any other way.
Someone needs to step up.
Someone needs to speak.
Someone needs to stop her.
Let that someone be me!
My story is much the same
except I'm the one
who is to be hurt the most
by this decision.
I am the one who the pain is going to rip through.
I am the one whose voice is about to be silenced.
I am the one whose life is about to be snuffed out.
I am the one they aren't giving a chance to live.
I'm your child.
You try to silence my cries.
You refuse to listen to my truth.
You try to drown out the sound of your mistake.
For that is what it is.
Isn't it?
You can't really think that silencing me is right.
Can you?
I am your child.
I am the one you should love and care for.
I am the one who should bring joy to your life.
Yet you won't give me that chance.
You won't give me my first steps.
You won't give me my first ride on a bike.
You won't give me my high school graduation.
You won't give me my college graduation.
You won't give me my wedding day.
You won't give me your grandchildren.
You're silencing my cries.

This is my story. If not for a Christian adoption agency that got a hold of my biological parents, I would not be alive to be writing this. They were literally at the abortion clinic, ready to....I cannot put it any other way, murder me. I am now almost 21 years old, perfectly normal, excelling in college as a theater major. I beg of you. Think twice before you choose abortion. Because no matter which way you or anyone else twists it, it is STILL taking an innocent life. Choose ADOPTION, not ABORTION. Please.
