Hardest Letter Ever Written

Mom,
I didn't really think that this would ever happen to me.
I thought that I would be smarter than this you see.
Straight A student who had a good name.
Now, the only thing that you feel toward me is shame.

You ask me if the father is going to be there.
No, he's not, and you're right... It's not fair.
It's not fair that something like this has to happen to me. 
What's done is done, and I have to be the best that I can be.

I know you're disappointed and dad is, too,
But please try to think if this were happening to you.
I have no one now except the one within.
When I wrote this, I didn't even know where to begin.

The pen's in my hand, and I know exactly what to say.
I'm going to stay strong and make it to another day.
"Get an abortion!!" Was what you said.
How could you even wish your own grandchild dead?

I'm going to do this with or without.
Everytime I feel him kick, I'm released of another doubt.
I'm sorry I didn't become the person that you wanted me to be.
Please open your eyes and try to see.

Maybe one day, you'll be able to forgive me.
I beg you not to take it out on your grandbaby.
I don't care if you love me or not,
But one grandmother is all this child has got.

                Me

Author notes

Some of my friends are teenage parents and sometimes I can't imagine if I would have to tell my parents something like that, so I decided to brainstorm and see what it would be like. I'm not even pregnant and it was hard to write.

    Wow, when I had the talk with my Dad abortion was the LAST thing he wanted. Well, taht is more ebcause of religion than anything else. He did sugest adoption though, and I sort of did that. But I think that keeping the kid is the best thing you can do. I dono if this is a true story, but if it is, I think you should keep the kid and raise it... raise it not to be like his Dad. Anyways, this was great, it really showed how hard it is to say this kind of thing to your parents. I hope they don't hate their grandkid!
