The voices are screaming,
They're driving me crazy.
Murderer, Murderer, Murderer.
God please make it stop.
My betrayal of human life
Haunts me night and day.
I'm drowning in guilt
And no one can save me.
I have forsaken my unborn;
I killed a sweet innocence.
My conscience is hateful,
And never lets me rest.
It shows me disturbing images
Trapping me within my self.
Black roses seeping blood;
A small coffin without a body.
A tiny skull crushed in death;
A disassembled little body.
I can not take this anymore;
God, just let me die.
These thoughts swarm my soul
And darken my every moment.
Only one way to make them stop,
And that's to go away.
I'm sorry God, for what I've done
Please don't tell my mother.
It would haunt her more than me;
Oh, please don't shame her name.
I'm sorry mother I just can't stay
Please don't hate me for it.
I love you and our family
But I don't belong here anymore.
Dear God I'm coming to you now
Please don't turn me away.
I know I sinned before today
But now I atone for my mistake.
An eye for an eye the Bible says;
So I give my life for the one I took.
I repent to you my only God,
Please save this wretched soul of mine.

I disagree with abortion so yeah. Not a true story by the way. Oh and there seems to be some confusion with some readers, so for clarification, the woman kills herself at the end.
2. Abortion is a big one. I want something that will move me. (Hint--I'm AGAINST abortion)

I like this alot. This poem shows that the women knew she sinned and she felt the guilt. She was sorry for what she'd done and all she wanted to be was forgiven. socity is cruel and cold and above all else they are UNforgiving. The girl knew that so she relized she'd never truly be free from the guilt she felt and that there was nothing she could do at all she couldn't take it back or say she was sorry. So she got out hoping to make things ok. The poem shows truly feelings and is sincerly a poem full of wonder and thought.
Great job very well written.
Good luck in my contest!!

thanks
That poem is fiction and the woman in it kills herself. But thanks for the applause and the comment. It's nice to know that people like my writing. Thanks again. ~Lilly~ -
Lovely but sad
Oh this is really fantastic!You have given God your sin and accepted your guilt. Now He'll deal. He takes it and forgives you so please, please now move on. -
oh my goodness. this is so strong. i could feel the pain. the entire piece is seeping with imagery and it made me almost weep!
this is such a wonderful piece. i congratulate you, repeatedly. fantastic! -
I liked the first stanza, what this poem lacked in imagery and description it made up in emotion. the last stanza was real good-the eye for an eye part-hammurabi rules. good work, good work
