Poems About Abortion

by Melisa Steele

Here is one of my poems about abortion titled,

"Darling"


Darling, I wonder all the time who you would have been,
Sometimes I can hear you laughing and see your little grin.

I snap out of it for a moment, I'll never feel your touch,
The guilt of my decision hurts me so very much.

My heart bleeds and my crime bears me such shame,
Precious child I don't even know your name.

I didn't even say goodbye, I feel so selfish,
Now I long to cradle you, it's my one wish.

Such a wondrous gift that would have been so great,
But my choice ended up being your terrible fate.

Oh, what have I done?
The life once inside of me is now gone.

Why did I let myself feel the pressure?
I could have given birth to such a little treasure.

Was this supposed to be what was best?
A solution to the problem but it feels like a mess.

My soul feels torn, I feel such regret,
Not a day has gone by that I haven't wept

I'm so sad inside, there's such emptiness and pain,
I wish I could turn back the clock and do it all again.

I don't even know what the worst part is,
What a mistake, how could I have done this?

I'm truly sorry; I want you to know,
Darling, you're gone but how I love you so.

that is a sad poem I can relate to it very much. Im a 34 old women who only had my abortion 5 weeks ago, my partner was very distant and rather than talking to me chose to talk to random people on the internet. I have now split with him and in a total mess. Want my baby back too! x

Prayers
by: Julie

If there is any pain and suffering in your heart, I come to you now with prayers that God will provide you with what you need to be comforted. Remember that Jesus says that "His yoke is easy and burden is light" and even though you feel heavy-handed right now, I know He wants to bring you peace. Listen to his voice- whether he wants you to repent and feel forgiven or whatever you need, if you wrote that poem to help with deliverance or for creative means, I don't know, but either way, know
you are in my prayers!

In Christ,
Julie

sorry
by: L.M.

Wow it must be really hard to forget. As long as you never do this again and you hael convince young teens that abortion is not an option.

So sorry for abortions
by: A.J.

I love books and music. You'd think that would mean I'm into poetry, but I'm not. I've just never been that into it. But THAT was a good poem. I'm almost crying right now, actually. I don't know anyone who has ever had an abortion, and I never have myself--never even gotten "involved" with a guy--but when it comes to abortion, my heart absolutely melts. But this time, not unlike a few other times, my heart is going out to the baby AND the mother. I think abortion is totally horrific, and it's my DREAM when I'm older to have a lot of children. But for that reason, I am able to sympathize with mothers who have lost their baby(ies) because of their own decision. That was a sad, beautiful poem, and I feel deeply sorry for any woman to whom it applies.

With love, A.J.

Too young
by: Anonymous

I'm only 17, and I had an abortion. I'm also Christian, although my actions would say otherwise. Words cannot express how truly sorry I am, and while reading the poem, all I could do was cry. I wish I somehow had the power to change what has already been done. I'm sorry I'll never know my child, and I'm sorry I've let God down.

Im sorry

I just read the poem, and i'm 17 years old, and i'm pregnant. My parents know that I cant support it, because of money issues, I dont want to abort my baby. I dont believe in that, but i dont know what to do, I haven't seen my baby yet. but i will soon. It's a tough decision to make. I need help, if i do take the route i dont believe, i know god will protect my baby.

He can provide what you need!
by: Melisa (author of poem)

Thank you for sharing your concerns, it is very important to honor your parents and to be respectful and obedient to them but I have learned in my life that God is all that matters in the end.

I encourage to to pray to Him and ask Him to lay on your heart what the answer is, to free you from all guilt in your decision, and to bless you with wisdom for what you have to face. I am pro-life but this has to be a decision you make with God, your Father.

I got pregnant at the age of 17 too and I felt alone and I was scared and the father of my child ditched me as soon as he found out but I kept her and people came together to help me watch her while I went to work and while I put myself through college and today she is 14 years old and she is a bright beautiful, young lady that has turned out to be a tremendous blessing God bestowed on me, I haven't experienced one moment of regret even though the road has been rocky a times and I hit a few pot holes, she loves me so much and we have a close relationship together.

Sometimes to us mere humans the situation seems bleak but we can only see a little tiny part of what God is doing, what His plan is and it will be grander than anything we can ever phantom. Sometimes when I think I'm not doing a good job as a mother God will send people into my life to tell me how wonderful I've raised them and it's all because God was there with me all along. The God you worship provides!!!

Believe me when I say that, He has provided for me more times than I can count, everything we have is from Him, sometimes some things are a little more obvious than others but I sit here a single mom with 2 children, that has been laid off from work, who is not receiving child support yet we have a roof over our heads in a very nice home and we have food to eat every single day, healthy, nutritious meals, my kids and I are clothed in nice cloths. He provides, my car ended up needing $1800 in repairs just last week but God has sent people to me that have offered to repair it for me and my family free of charge.

Please don't under estimate what God can do - if all you are worried about is money, don't....God provides and He provides more than finances - He is your strong tower, your comfort, He LOVES you and HE WILL BE THERE for you. God didn't send His Son to die for you to watch you fall and fail. Let go and put your trust in the Lord and wait for Him to answer.

Words can't describe it
by: Anonymous

my heart and soul are torn.. I will never be the same. I never had regret or guilt, now its all I've become regretful and guilty.. the depression takes over like a tsunami, overpowering, cant b stopped or controlled, I jus have to endure it all.. and hope I maintain my sanity after its gone, hoping it doesn't wash away my cover.. never knew pain could be so deep.

I Understand
by: Kristy Huff

That poem was heart-breakingly beautiful. I had an abortion a little over two weeks ago. I have never felt so torn, shattered, heart broken.. My child was guaranteed to be born with birth defects and i was told carrying the child full term could cause my body permanent damage, all because the babys father was on medication for eczema. We made the choice to abort the pregnancy. Now, even with all the risks, I might have changed my decision. I pray my child can forgive me and wipe MY tears from my face when we are re-united. To my child: Mommy & Daddy love you and we are so sorry.

this poem made me think
by: Anonymous

this poem really made me think it was only a month ago i had an abortion. and i kept it from my boyfriend. shortly after that i was pregnant again and i was beaten up and lost my child. now thinking back and it makes me think what would it of been like if my mother had an abortion with me i wouldnt of liked it but i have just taken this little kids life away because of my age i may only be 14 but its not fair on the person in side and when i read this poem i just cried this poem really touched me x

By the grace of God
by: Anonymous

Where would we have been if it wasn't for the grace of God. I am a 16 year old that lost her virginity at the of 15 to a foolish guy that I thought I loved. I was going through a rough patch and rebelled against my faith. I killed my child by taking a morning after pill which is just as bad, my life was busy spiralling outa control. I felt so alone but God pulled me out of the situation and He restored everything back to me. I am here by His grace alone, I sometimes think back and think " was that me?" All I can say is that His grace is more than enough, there is hope just turn to Him in prayer.

God Bless

Wonderful poem!
by: Anonymous

That was a simply wonderful and beautiful poem, it made me want to cry. I'm just forteen, but I already decided when I was 12 to save everything for my husband. The day I marry will be the first time I kiss/hug/touch a man outside of my family. I can't wait till the day I am able give myself wholly and completly to my husband. God bless all you gals out there, I know abortion hurts, though I can never completly share in your feelings. God knows what you are going through, I'm praying for all of you.

heartbroken
by: Anonymous

i could really relate to your poem. I had an abortion august 6th 2009. 5 months ago. I had horrible morning sickness, more like all day sickness, and just wantedthe baby gone. I was being selfish and fearful of what my bf would think. I recently started having really bad flashbacks and the pain is unberable. I cant walk by the baby isle without feeling pain. I wish i had never gotten the abortion. I wish i had been safer and more wiser with my actions. I will always love my baby. I just hope he/she has forgiven me. I was supposed to be a mother, a mother is someone who protects their offspring regardless of anything. Even animals protect their children more than us humans. I am ashamed of what i did and am ashamed that society had legalized abortion.

this is really touchy :(

my opinipn
by: cadie brown

abortion is not the answer in my eyes the poem was very said and the thing is that i dont understand is people regret it after they do it when they should sit down and realize how the effect or how the problem will affect them in the long run. im not tryin to put anyone down that has evr done such a thing but you know if you know you can support the baby abortion is not the key you could give it up to a adoption family and give that baby the chance too live and experience with a family that will love and provide for them believe me you will feel alot worse with killing you child then gving it up

sorrow
by: Anonymous

Im 14 and never had an abortion or a child but i feel for those who have lost their child and im praying for you. I dont beleive in abortion because one of the ten comandments is "thou shall not kill" and i think that even though its not born yet that is an inocent human being no matter what the government says. This poem almost made me cry and I know of another poem....

Mommy, today is my birthday. I am 4 months old.

Mommy I have toes and I am a girl. Mommy, Please don't be sad any more.

Mommy what is that doctor saying mommy? What is an abortion mommy?

Mommy I love you. Mommy I can fall asleep to your heartbeat.

Mommy do you love me?

Mommy I am in heaven now Mommy. God told me what an abortion is Mommy.

Mommy why didn't you want me? Why don't you love me?

Mommy why can't I ever see the light of day? Mommy I still love you.

Mommy God will take care of me now and I will be loved .

Mommy today is my birthday I am 5 years old now and I still don't understand why you didn't want me mommy

Mommy! You came to see me Mommy!

Mommy what happened to you? You don't know your little girl anymore mommy? You don't love me Mommy? Why did I have to die Mommy?
Mommy I still love you

I think you should cherish the moments you have with your child and love them.
may God be with you in your time of need.
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS!
