She cries, he cries
Hopeful to see the light of day
Not yet human, are just lies
If thou will, I will live
It is entirely my body
On my way to get the pill
Not prepared to behave oddly
I simply have more priorities
Why would I be worried?
She is just a fetus, a cell
Besides, I am not yet married
It's my lifestyle, my choice
If only you let me live
I will grow to be part of you
Would you be able to carry me?
If grandma made a wrong choice?
Dear Mother, please have mercy
Though situations vary, please consider
Even in the midst of controversy
Please live and let me live.
