Letter To The Aborted Child by Africanbest(m): 12:10pm On Jan 03, 2018
(In response to a Letter From An Aborted Child by RabJ )


Dear Child,

I am sorry for making you pass through that pain.
I am sorry for giving you hope of arrival.
I am sorry for giving you a home called womb,
And destroying it with bombs called medicine.
I am so sorry.

Yes, I had s*x but I wasn't ready for the price.
Yes, it was my peers who told me how sweet,
And pleasurable sex was.
Yes, it was still my peers who introduce me to the bombs.
Bombs like postinor2, black and red capsule, Andrew liversalt etc.
Yes, I wouldn't be here if my mum did same.
Yes, I killed you and I cried all through.
I am so sorry.

He said he wasn't ready to be a father.
He said he was married to another woman.
He said this is the last time.
He said his family are religious.
He said we would have another.
He said he will marry still marry me.
He said you haven't formed yet.
He said we weren't from the same ethnic and religion.
He said many things,
And I only put him into consideration and I regretted later.
I am so sorry.

I prayed you never destroyed my womb when you left.
I prayed you know I loved you even when you left.
I prayed you understood why I made the decision when you left.
I prayed I shouldn't look for you when am ready.
I prayed you forgive me.
I prayed you weren't my last.
It was awful what I did to you.
I am so sorry.

Forgive me for I was still a child.
Forgive me for I was naive.
Forgive me for I fear your father's threats.
Forgive me for I believed his lies.
Forgive me for I was focused on material things.
Forgive me until we meet again and I show you the world.
Just know that,
I am so sorry.



(I love literature)......
