I don’t have a voice that you can hear
No
But I cry
I cry for my parents
Because…
They did away with me
Because…
They were not married
Because…
It wasn’t the perfect time
Because…
Of rape
Because…
In simple terms they did not want me
Do they miss me?
Because I miss them every day
Who am I?
I am their child
They did not want me
They chose the doctor’s clinic
They chose the pill to destroy the evidence
That is what I am
Evidence
Do I hurt?
Yes
But it was worse when I was vacuumed
When they tore my arms
Tugged away at my body
Tore me to shreds
And left me in tatters
I am in a different place now
I look at my parents
They are no longer together
They have other partners
They have moved on
But do they think of me?
Even if they don’t
I do
Because...
It is simple really
I love them
Why?
Because God said
Honor your father and your mother
