    Torment
    I never had a choice here
    I never had a prayer
    To save my unborn baby
    Such a burden for me to bear

    My life had already been threatened
    Should I ever come home that way
    So I knew just what I had to do
    And I never had a say

    A chance to save the baby?
    To raise it by my hand?
    My baby had the right to live
    But I couldn't make a stand

    And now I bear the consequence
    I bear it hard and wide
    The torment of the death I caused
    From which I will never be able to hide.

    Yes, this is a touchy subject indeed. Thank you for sharing. There if forgiveness and the burden of guilt will be lifted. This society says was you did was okay. They don't tell you what you go through afterwards. My prayers are with you, Al

    This is a very powerful piece. It speaks so much to so many. Valuable knowledge is passed on with each read of this piece. You are not the first or only one to have faced this, so don't feel alone. 10
