She's So Young

They stared and frowned as they thought "she's so young" as tears fell they sighed "her life had just begun" One mistake and she's thrown her life away Soon she'll be a mother, but a kid herself today You know she has options, she could make this disappear As if she hadn't realized and been experiencing her own fear They never stopped to ask her what she wanted to do After all, she's now making a decision for two Alone in her room all she did was cry Thinking about her future and what dreams had just passed her by The plan has been changed, now altered forever How could this happen, they thought she knew better Deep in her gut, she knows the right choice Even though it's not here yet, that baby has a voice With pride and confidence she'll give it her all Still knowing along the way she'll stumble and fall She's determined to be strong for motherhood she's now bound The truth is she's absolutely scared and when no ones around In the mirror I stare and frown as I think "I'm so young" as tears fall I smile " My life has just begun"

Wow, Jessie, this is a powerful write. I am pleased to see this young lady has taken the right way out rather than the easy way out. Nicely written. John
