Abort Me

[Trilliana]

The daughter of a rapist
Fighting hard to keep my faith
In the world and people we live with today
What if I had conceived
From the many times my dad raped me?
What if a random druggie
Raped me and refused to help me
If I became pregnant with his own
What if I were close to death
And the only way I would survive
Is if the child died?
And if they didn't kill the child,
We would both die?
what would happen if the father
Was an abusive man
And I knew I wouldn't be able
To keep my child.
Adoption is out if the question for that child
There are so many waiting to be adopted as it is!
Why should our children
Feel unwanted for so long??
That's why we have rapists and murderers anyways!
Children that were mis-treated
And put into the system
And KEPT in our messed up system.
You can't adopt from out of state,
You can't adopt from out of country
Unless you're Angolina Jolie
And have over a billion dollars
To beat the system.
So why should children be added into the system
And hell, the stem cell research they can do
On the child that isn't born
Could save lives of the people that are sick TODAY
it can help people that need bone marrow transplants
In the future!

And hell, if you have a problem with this


ABORT ME




Author's note: back when my mom was first pregnant with me, she found out when her father went to the hospital and died. She was going to abort me but it was totally frowned upon. So, my mom almost had me put into the adoption system... and someone I care about deeply has been put through that system. I hate watching the system of adoption, it's messed up. I've been watching my half sister try to adopt two girls for the past YEAR... the SYSTEM messed up on it and they need a good home... *shakes head* if only we can change it...

Now you know this hits home for me.... Mainly because I'm one of the lucky ones that didn't get aborted and did find a good home. There are some things that I disapprove of, but there are instances where I think that something needs to happen... I just hate the thought of abortion.... And one thing... You know me... I'd never have an abortion... I'd never adopt out... I would adopt other kids instead...you know that about me.... I hate the system... I really do.. Becuase it is so hard for us adoptees to find our real family and vice versa... It takes years upon years for the ability to do so. I'm still trying to figure out the whole law system in Cali with finding all that crap out... *sighs* Awesome write Trills

I understand you situation.
We don't need more unwanted children in our nation.
Alot of people don't see that.......
Adoption is like the over-population of stray cats.
But, again- alot of people only see black or white.
They don't see anything but wrong and right.
But their is always a gray area, great work!
You made my ears perk!

I understand. This is entirely how I feel. I was in a foster home for 3 1/2 years untill I turned 18. After a life of abuse and neglect. I often wished I would not have been born at all. I am crying right now, this is getting hard to write. I thank you so much for putting this into such meaningful words. I am going home now to write a poem of my own on this same topic. again thank you.
