Life or something like it (abortion)

Alright, I am pregnant.
Force it out of me.
and youre yelling.
and wondering... why
i didnt tell you.

ha! your first reaction
your eyes say it.
youre laughing at me.
Then...

NO! the second.
I have choices you say.
Abortion.
I have thought about it
you think its a good idea.

you dont have to live with it.
i do
you dont have to go through with it
i do
its not your decision
its mine
its not your baby
its mine.

you tell me that im smarter than
This.
its a little late for that
and
i just wish you had told me that
before
but wishes are for fools.

Abortion.
a thought gently kissing
my eyelashes
and it vanishes
but you stick it right into my eye
and i know you want it.

my eyes begin to water
as i ask...
what would you do.
you say
at your age... im saying its an option
Heres an option...
SHOVE IT

ha! my first reaction
to your suggestion
NO! my second.

I know that it would be easier.
but i didnt ask for easy

but then...I screwed up once.
and everyone deserves a second chance.

consider it a clean slate.

but only once a lifetime.
