I’ve never written about abortion
To me the subject’s too near
I don’t know how to put my thoughts to words
I feel it in my bones every day and every night
I find myself lingering on the term
Abortion
If there’s an uglier word
I’ve never heard it
Don’t get me wrong
I am very pro choice
I had the choice and I took it
Just 17 years old
My baby just seven weeks
My baby no longer
I would never take that choice away from
Someone in my same place
But given the choice again
I would have a happy healthy four year old boy
