Aborted


Aborted... It was all fun at first, Every kiss, every touch. Expressing your "love" With kisses and such. But he wanted more And who were you to deny? You gave into temptation And decided to try. He said the sweetest things To get you in bed, But all of those false promises Went straight to your head. You're happy, he's happy, And all is going well Until your period is late And you have big news to tell. You tell him you took the test and you passed, But he wants no part in this pregnancy. He's angry now, and he breaks up with you And leaves you alone... with a baby. You're young... Still in high school And money is tight. Trying to convince yourself That you'll be alright. But then you start thinking, "If I keep this child, I'll probably end up Homeless for a while." You still want to party And hang out with friends; You're not ready to be a parent Because all the fun will end. At last, abortion Crosses your mind. It's the only way out That you're able to find. But life or death of the baby Should not be your own choice. Although it's not talking, It still has a voice. Decisions... We all have to make them, But don't think too fast. This choice that you make Will forever last. What if this child Grows up to be a star? The president, or famous? This choice is bizarre. Don't do it, save a life. Let this baby live. If you kill it today, Yourself will you forgive? You're scared and afraid So you decide to do it. It's over in minutes, And your family is clueless. But alas, a life was lost. Your mind now distorted, For you chose the wrong choice And the poor baby is... Aborted.
