A poem
My best friend from high school is pregnant. I found that out today.
"So and so is pregnant" took my breath away.
Isn't life funny? ..She's only 20
Where will she be getting all of that money?
The money to raise a baby.
Maybe.. I should mind my business.
My heart grows heavy with ash. Why can't I breathe just because a long forgotten "friend" is choosing something rash?
Was it a choice? It couldn't have been planned.
I've never even seen you hold a little hand.
Not the road we chose so long ago.
All that time I did not know
Somewhere in you, you wanted to be a mother and raise a baby
Maybe... I should mind my own business
But why should I?
You poked your nose in mine
When my months till due were less than nine
Seven months left to be exact
Just a year ago, When I told you I was pregnant
Told you I was still deciding
on if at that time I wanted an infant
"Deciding?" You questioned right away
"I can't see you with a kid" you bluntly stated that day
The day that I decided I could not have my way
I have no money. I have No future set
My lover and I still trying to get it together. We haven't gotten there yet.
I'm just a kid myself. Already feeling the weight of it all coming down on my life. Feeling crushed, crumbled and curled.
I really am still a kid, Still trying to make sense of the world
If I just had a little more time
I could really be something great
A career, a foundation, the future is clear
"I want an abortion" I said to my boyfriend with tears.
How I longed for a baby
I wanted a baby right then
But timing is everything. It mattered. The how and when.
So I gave the opportunity up
I gave it up for the sake of me.
So long, I felt the pain but now I feel so proud of what's to be.
Congratulations old friend.
I wish the best to you and to your baby
