[An Ode To Aborted Children]

I am the child,
Who grows up one day,
To a respectful adult,
Who cures all cancer.

I am the child,
Never given a chance,
Cut out and forgotten,
Who would stopped global warming.

I am the child,
Beaten out of her womb,
By an abusive boyfriend,
Who would have been a judge.

I am the child,
Who was never really born,
Because she was only 14,
Who would have been a friend.

I am the child,
Crying and hurting,
With a family who could care less,
Wishing I were never born.

    I aborted. I regret it every day. I think about who my child could have been. Nice write.

    I personally feel that abortion is fine. Yes, it's technically killing a life. But with law restrictions, health care, etc etc, there is nothing left to measure population growth. We have no food chain - we ARE the food chain. In the end, some places (in fact, lots of places) are running out of room for people.

    I sympathize, but I don't agree. Good write, good topic.

    ummm ok....

    I see you are only 15 and don't get me wrong I am not doubting your knowledge on aborted babies because in a way this poem sounds like you may have experienced it... I am 20 yrs old and I had an abortion at 19 because my baby wasn't going to make it, because of several medical reasons.(ppl that read this please don't judge me because I wanted my baby more than anything I just felt it wasn't right for me to let her suffer and let her die before her first birthday) This is a touchy subject for me... This was a good write though, very sad because it got me thinking about my little one but I know she is way better off now than she would have ever been! The last paragraph I didn't quite understand but overall it was a good write!!

    WHO WOULD HAVE -PERHAPS NOT WHO WOULD STOPPED.
    perhaps who would have been a friend?

    brutal ending. really crucshing. but good write. nice voice.

    however it is not our choice to make.
    you hit both sides quite acuratly.
