There's been no desire in me to force them
to carry children they never wanted
I don't understand how it turned into
shouting about how I'm allowed no decision
To somehow liken me to an enemy
of the natural order of pregnancy and birthright
only because I said I wanted mine -
and that I've been having a real hard time
I've always, and will still, continue to support them
In the struggle against such morbid coercion
against those who would try to pry into
the lives of women via political card-tricks
to commandeere their very womanhood,
with adversity so puritanically charged -
Such has never been me, and to even do such things is,
in my heart of hearts, completely antithesis
My pain is my own, and my choice about it
is limited only to what voice I cast out
I did all that I could within reason,
without sacrificing what I'm about
to save what to me had become
the child I couldn't live without
The hardest truth yet that I have to work through,
Is that the nuance of it is lost on all of on you.
But to all others who've suffered not having a say:
Happy Father's Day
