A Better Life

Not ready to bear this child

Still a child myself

Why, if you have no uterus

Think you have a say 

How will I raise a child 

If I still need to learn things myself

I never wanted you to come home with me 

Yet you’re telling me that doing this is a sin

But what about your actions?

Were my cries of “no” not enough

To make you aware of your sins? 

I risk my life so that

I don’t bring this baby into 

A world where a man tells women

What they cannot do with their bodies
