A couple of my siblings got injured while snowboarding (Who said that sports came without risk?) We are trying to get our adopting started, particularly sibling groups, and if you are interested in looking at their site and supporting them, here is the link:

but anyway, I thought I should share a poem, one I wrote about abortion:
Sorry
a poem about abortion by Mariah Evans
They said it would be easy
They lied
They said it was just a lump of tissue
But I knew it was more than that.
He said he would leave if I didn’t get “it”, “taken care of”.
He wasn’t ready for a kid yet, and he
thought I wasn’t either, but he was
rong.
If I hadn’t done it, would I have had
a son
or daughter?
Every day, I feel
an emptiness
inside of me
An enormous void that I can’t fill
My grief is an ocean
And I’m drowning
In tears that I’ve shed
caused by the guilt
Of giving in
And intentionally
snuffing out a light
that might’ve become
someone I could’ve loved.
I’m sorry.
Please know, wherever you are, that
I’m sorry.
-Mariah F. Evans
