A Free Verse Poem from a woman asking for consideration to not overturn Roe v. Wade due to the fatal consequences.

My body is mine

and mine alone

to go ahead and decide

regardless of tone

what I can tolerate

or what works for me

when I want to mate

or look out for safety.


There shouldn't be worry

for my own life

to those who aren't sorry

for political strife

as if I'm up for trade

when a seed's in picture

how dare you go say

that we need to be stricter

to choose a thing over me

that isn't guaranteed

how could this even be

more reason to be freed.


My life's not a card

to be chanced on the table

depends on fake bards

with some made up fable

on what they believe

that's clearly untrue

need more than reprieve

too much blood, I'm blue.


Can't you open your eyes

and see I'm important

please prevent my demise

do it, don't be discordant.
