Having a baby is great news
But not if it could kill you.
Been so careful
Took no chances
But still
I'm once again expecting.
What to do,
My mind is a mess
Do I keep it
Or
Get rid of it?
There are so meny things wrong
Its not going to well
My body can't handle no more
The doctors have said
Life is to short
Mine will be shorter if I go through with it.
On a high risk
My life ends at birth
But I don't belive in killing unborns
No matter how far gone.
the pain now kills me
The bleeding wont stop
But baby is well
But I am not.
Backache
Headache
Bleeding
Pain
It's my life or giving new.
He says he'll stand by me
But I dont know,
Things are not going well for us right now
If I could see how it will all work out
Then maybe
I'll know what to do.
My minds messed up
I'm standing at a dead end road
Do take the dirt path and see where it goes?
Or
Do I turn back and take the easy way home.
Two weeks left
To make up my mind
Before its no going back
I need help
What do I do?
In a list
Please tell me what you think

This is a very gripping topic. I think, less telling and more metaphorical showing would make it an irresistable read for many more people
As for the topic itself, I haven't had any issues with carrying a baby but I know people that do and, each and every time they miscarry it become much more agonizing. Still, nothing stops them from wanting their baby.
Whether they carry to term (as most have everntually done) or not, the question of realtionship stability
or accidental pregnancies usually doen't come into play when making their descision.

This really gripped me til the end, I liked the way the poet talked as if the viewer knew the situation already, so teh viewer was left to guess at exactly what it was. I also found it pretty powerful, especially as I have been told I may have to face the same problem myself if I get pregnant.
Well done and good luck, definitely keep on writing.

What did you decide? I know that usually, when your body really can't handle a pregnancy, it will miscarry on its own. The women I've met who've aborted don't "get over it." It stays there and hangs over them. I hope you fought for your child, if this is actually true.

The only one who knows what to do is you. I've had an abortion that I didn't want, and I regret it more than anything else I've ever done. But, girl, if you're feeling so sick so early on already...would the baby stay healthy?

This is a very beautiful piece of work on a very hard to broach topic. Either choice is the right one, it all depends on what you want. There's always a chance you can survive. IF you're religious then pray, if you're not, the hope.
