*You should get an Abortion. It's for the best. Your life is a wreck, and you shouldn't want to invite a child into your mess. You're eighteen and homeless. That's too young to deal with all of this. You can barely keep a hold of yourself, A kid would just make it worse. It's time to just accept that.* Those words were once meant for you, mom. But, for some reason you didn't listen. You ignored their logic and chose to battle through the pain. You didn't give up.   You fought on. Got a car, a job, an apartment, and a way out of all the things that controlled you. You didn't give up. You knew you could be a better person, and a worthy parent. Because instead of being constrained to your past You used each mistake as a lesson that slowly started to give you strentgh. You didn't give up. You believed in yourself When no one else did, and formed your own path which, inch by inch, lead you farther from your fears and closer to that moment when you were able to sit in the auditorium and watch me graduate with the words Thank you Jesus ringing in the back of your head. (I know they were) You never gave up, and look at us now, mom. Look where we are. It's a miracle. We conquered all the odds and ignored the logic. Because you never gave up. I want to be like you. To face my trials without any fear. And when they tell me to just give up. To accept defeat. I won't. Because you didn't.

Because You Didn't (revised)
body parts strewn everywhere. what is It? what is value? billions of people everywhere. Life. who values It anymore? who would waste It? who would treat It with contempt? Life.

It's worth defending
To toss away life Never ends this earth's strife Rather, it just creates more Though their time has not come They still wish they be done And they strive to meet death at its door "End suff'ring!" they say As they play Holy God As if they all know better than He And I wish they would find Somewhere deep in their mind The hope buried beneath misery You would find this great hope If you searched not this earth But the whisper enveloping life Which they cannot explain Though they're racking their brains And attributing all to their lies They're deceitful and bitter And faithless at best They conceal the great truth that they've found In our naivete, We believe what they say For we're sheep who have all gone astray It's a fib we all buy That to live is to die So we search day and night for escape But if your heart is pure, You shall find your soul's cure In the Life, in the Truth, in the Way
