28 years ago I walked into a clinic with a fetus in my uterus

I walked back out alone

I drove through the drive-thru like it was no big deal

But then the pain of my decision

Weighed on me

Day in and day out

I wondered what could have been

My fear outweighed my love that day

My baby daddy couldn’t take the pain

And thought to end his life

Before he bared the weight of any more of my

Negative decisions

He left this Earth and people fell in the wake of his

Destruction and pain

The darkness surrounds me every year

On August 24th, the day I ended your life

My sweet baby

Who never had a chance

To live.
