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.
