Abortion Poetry Essay
Abortion Hurts….
Abortion hurts everyone at some point. Whether it’s the mother that goes through with it, the father that has to deal with it, siblings, other family members or friends… and let’s not forget the baby. This collection of poetry is toward the fight against unnecessary abortion, and the abortion rights for the baby.
The emotional heartbreak is almost beyond bearing from either perspective.
Unforgotten
It didn’t hurt then
but now I feel the pain.
They took you from me
and nobody was to gain.
I told them to do it,
not only they are to blame.
If only things could be undone,
so I would have you to claim.
I didn’t think it would hurt
this much; this long.
I thought I would feel better
once you were gone.
The crying of a newborn baby
to me would sound like a song.
I realize now that what I did
was not only unfair to you, but wrong.
The feeling of you kicking
inside of me
would fill my heart
with such glee,
and I should’ve realized then
that you would be
a precious little baby
I could hold and see.

Today I will love you
Today…
Today, I stretched my arms.
I wiggled my toes.
I rolled my shoulders.
I touched my nose.
Today, I have more senses;
More feelings than I had yesterday.
Tomorrow…
Tomorrow, I shall feel the fresh air,
For the first and last time.
Enjoy one more moment of
My mama’s heartbeat;
Of mine.
I shall taste my mama’s
Favourite food,
One last time…
I wish she’d realize that this isn’t her life;
But mine.
Goodbye Mama, I love you!

My life
My life; your choice
Your words; your voice
They bring sharp knife
Your choice; my life
You lay; I fight
You wrong; me right
Total darkness; bright light
Sharp pain; goodnight
Not fair; can’t cry
I truthful; you lie
I say love me; you say bye
You live; I die
Going to sleep; you’re tore
Me innocent; you unsure
You fine; me sore
Heartbeat no more

Death of a Child
I close my eyes
and think of the past.
All of those lies
you said the pain wouldn’t last.
That child could have been mine,
to have and to hold,
I thought the pain would decline
but I was given fools gold.
The child I will never know
haunts my life; my dreams.
I now have nothing to show
but regret it seems.
The death of a child
affects people so much.
I threw out my smile
while others fight for their touch.
I wasted your life
I’m so sorry I did.
It hurts more than that knife,
that took away my own kid.
I am sorry to those
who do not have the choice,
who’s child’s lives must foreclose
despite the words from their voice.
I shall never again
choose the death of a child.
I want labours’ pain
so I can once again smile.

Let Me Die Before I Wake
Let me die
before I wake,
so that the Lord may
have my soul to take.
The wish I want,
you will make;
so let me die
before I wake.
Let me die
before I wake,
end my life
naturally fake.
I would rather live,
but for goodness’ sake;
let me die
before I wake.

Killing Me Softly
I wanted to keep you
but the Dr. said “NO!”
too many complications
so you had to go
You were killing me inside
I know you didn’t mean to
I am not mad at you at all
but very sad to be without you
The things that were happening
neither one of us would have made it
I’m sorry you were sacrificed
so I could live, I admit
I miss your little flutters
like butterflies in my tummy
I rub my belly and wait for you
but instead end up feeling crummy
I pray that you are taken care of
my angel you always were
I just wish I got to know you
before that mighty transfer.
