ABORTION

By Millie Nyoike

She knew she could never have him
But of course she was never ready for this ‘thing’
So she kept calling him
Not knowing what this would bring
She wanted to forget
Forget how wasted she felt
Forget all the loses she would get
For she was already carrying the fruits of her mess
He was out of sight
But never out of mind
She was carrying his kid
Who wouldn’t mind?
Knowing there is yet another mouth to feed?
Obviously she has to get rid of it
For sure it wasn’t fit
But come to think of it…?
Would you risk losing your career, dreams for this one time mistake?
“People go through this and end up successful” she said
Before entering the Quack’s surgery room.
