"Taking A Stand."
  by .Candice.Renee.


Eyes swelled
womb became and instant tomb
words uttered like

"Nah we can't afford this right now"

But yeah you can
afford the termination
of our unborn child?

See 300 bucks can reverse a raw nutt
300 bucks can reverse a loose fuck
300 bucks can reverse a stroke of luck
Fucking 300 bucks when you could have nutted on my butt

What?

Laying here on the floor
In tears wondering if in the next coming years
Missing this child's birthday will become one of my biggest fears

See regrets are reminders wrapped within sorrow
And my biggest regret will be not giving this one a tomorrow

As if this child chose to be conceived upon a bed of false dreams
As if this child chose to be the end of all means
To party all night, sit on the block living a life so carefree
Still asking will I agree to remove this life blooming from within me

How could this be?

So alone I carry our so called burden that call my joy
& no even after when I have this child you won't know if its a boy or a girl
This didn't take one to make but it can take one to raise a child in this world

Never thought that
me & you would ever see such a day
But either way
This child
is here to stay.


Stay - Common & Lauren Hill

it would seem that 300 Bucks sure can help and hinder much in a woman's life--there's more than I can expound upon but the previous readers have already picked my thoughts on this situation clean--so I'll simply tip my hat, bow in respect and blow a kiss in the wind--hoping it reaches your soul to which it may soothe said sorrow
