I was formed today made by two
My body and soul all brand new
I start to grow inside her womb
Knowing soon my life will bloom
The things I’ll do the places I’ll see
O how much life has waiting for me
I hope that I’ll grow strong and tall
And one day be able to kick a ball
To go to school and learn new things
And just to be ready for what life brings
Then when I’m ready I’ll get a job of my own
Save some money and by a home
That soon I would meet my spouse
That would come and share my house
At some point we would wed
And as life partners we would share a bed
To start a family of our own
With laughing children to fill our home
But thing don`t seem to be going well
Even now as her tummy starts to swell
now as my little body starts to form
She seems more troubled with every dawn
I sense her anguish I feel her pain
Now that her blood flows in my veins
Every day they scream and shout
I don`t know what it`s all about
Nothing seems to be going right
So often I wake up with such a fright
At night she cries herself to sleep
Her soul cries from with her deep
Of all the promise life has in store
It seems it all will be no more
I have no choice to decide
My little body is stuck inside
This horrible choice I have no say
To end my life this tragic way
It looks as if my life will be short
As she has decided to me abort
