Professor Ellison said that we could, for this week only, post poems that we had previously written to show where we were coming from. These aren't super awesome. I wrote them a while back, but here they are:
1.
She never thought that she could love something or someone so much.
Never knew how much it would hurt.
She never thought that she would get an abortion until faced with the situation.
Never even dreamed she would get pregnant her first time.
Everything was great until they broke up.
She didn't realize she was pregnant until she lost the baby.
With no one to confide in, not her mother, not the baby's father, she told he sister who went through the same thing.
It ate her up inside, she didn't know what to do.
She never thought she could love something or someone so much.
Never knew how much it would hurt.
2.
I hear it calling out to me from everywhere.
No, I tell myself.
Don't listen.
Don't obey.
The more it calls out to me, the harder it is to resist.
After toying with the idea, I finally give in.
Later, I wish I hadn't, knowing I can't take it back.
Will there ever be a cure for this addiction?
Once again, I wrote these a good time ago. The first poem is about what one of my really good friends went through at the midpoint of the last year. The second poem was inspired by an episode of Intervention that I watched several years ago.
