    Poem Commentary

    The hardest decision I ever made...

    Unwed Mother

    I never thought I would be doing this alone.

    I can count on him for all of the baby’s needs,

    But none of my own.

    I wish I had more to offer this child

    Than a broken home.

    But I can’t stay in a relationship

    Where I don’t respect ME

    Or I will also be giving this baby

    A broken Mother.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
