The story of my life

THE STORY OF MY LIFE
source

I am here to tell you a story; I am here to tell you the story of my life
A story I was told when I was five
A story I did not understand when I was a child
But now, it makes more meaning, it is much clearer to my sight.

I know that this might not make sense to some of you
But I just want you to understand my point of view
Some might even take me for a fool
But just listen, you might learn something new.
I might be telling your own story too

I was five when mum called me, hugged me and said "my child
I know you are doing fine, I love you, don't ask me why
This is hard to tell, but I have to try".

My little mind could not comprehend the burden that mum carried
But the sad look on her face got me worried
I had to wait and listen, there was no need to hurry.

"20 years ago", she said "I met this sweet and simple soul"
A man I admire so much, he was tall, handsome and bold
He had a heart of gold, and I wished we were alone
His muscular arms, I was tempted to hold,
Funny enough, I was just eighteen years old.

I was captured by his seeming perfection
Though I never knew his intention,
I did not think of rejection
Because all I could see was love and affection
Patiently, I waited for his reaction.

And we both got what we wanted
He approached me, full of courage
Immediately, I fell for his image
He only said a word and I was already thinking of marriage
He said I was packaged, just the way he wanted
I never knew that he wanted to take advantage of my innocence
The love I had for him made me lose my sense.

And so it happened, it happened so fast that just couldn't tell
I fell, I fell so hard for his "Magic Spell"
The angel I once loved became a demon from hell
Don't blame me son, I was just a little girl.

Unfortunately, I took in, I was no more packaged
I became an object of pity and he did not even care to see me
He hurt my feelings, and he still expected me to do his bidding.

He said he would love me again if I flushed that thing
"Take this pill, one every evening" but I was not willing
I am not a murderer, why would I kill?
I know we made a mistake, but time will heal.

And so, he rejected me, my family did same too
Even my friends called me a fool for keeping you, they had flushed theirs too
But I was steadfast because I knew it would end soon
And amidst this trouble, dear son, I gave birth to you".

And mum smiled with tears in her eyes saying
This is the story of how you were born
Because I refused to spill your innocent blood,
I believe I am at peace with God.

This is my story, the story of how mum refused to abort me
If she did, I will not be in the world's history
If she did, who would write down this poem for a story
A story with a lesson, a lesson with a blessing?.

SAY NO TO ABORTION!!!
