Too Young To Expect The Unexpected
I knew it could happen,
 
 
 But I can’t believe it happened to me.
 I’m one of “those girls” now
 
 
 A disappointment
 
 I’m not ready for this
 
 
 I’m too young
 I can’t do it
 But I need to stay strong
 Take the attention off myself
 I’m carrying a life inside of me
 
 
 A little life
 
 
 It’s helpless…
 
 
 It needs me
 He might not be there for me
 But I’ll just have to let go of him
 I love this little thing inside of me
 More than I would ever love him
 I’m only sixteen
 
 
 Hardly a woman
 It’s time for me to grow up
 
 
 Mature
 
 
 Be helpful
 
 
 Can’t be selfish
 I told my family one morning at breakfast.
 They were in shock.
 
 
 Speechless.
 
 
 Still.
 
 
 Their jaws dropped.
 They said that they’ll support me when that big day comes
 I felt better after I told them
 
 
 I felt free
 Nine months will pass by quickly
 I have so many feelings
 
 
 I’m scared
 
 
 Excited
 
 
 Worried
 
 
 Happy
 My stomach is growing
 This little life is coming soon.
