The third day

A Poem by Freedom's Child

For 3 days
Was I fed from the breast?

For 3 days
Where was I?

For 3 days
Did my future have plans?

For 3 days
Was I loved?

On the 3rd day
I would never have breast milk

On the 3rd day
I was left by all

On the 3rd day
I had no future

On the 3rd day
No one decided to love me

3 days of one life
On the 3rd day, a lifetime of emptiness

Nice job. You have good poems. Is this about abortion?
