Why continue my normal life of school
When this world is so cruel
Soon everyone will know what I’m concealing
This has got to be the weirdest feeling
My mood changes all the time

It changes so fast it should be a crime
My head hurts from all this stress
I’m not getting anywhere theres no progress
Looks like this choice is up to me
Drop out and run from it all, don’t you agree?

Or stay in school and learn
My choice is really none of your concern
To the doctors I will go
Sit there & tell him what I want when inside I’m really yellin no

So I guess its time to set it all up and come clean
But my decision is still in between
I guess it doesn’t really matter anymore
I’ll never be like I was before

Come on not lets be realistic
Im just gonna end up like another statistic

The one thing that makes life worthy besides LOVE, is LEARNING. So don't you dare to stop doing that! It is a blessing, even if you fear to end up just as another statistic. What's wrong with that? Learning is a life long process ...

A good poem, that shows your reasoning and insight well.

Love,
Margherita

Yes. Very well reasoned. Great writing here. And again now, I see portrayed a life issue of great importance... unplanned pregnancy and abortion.

Naturally one would hope this isn't your reality you are writing about, dear poet, but if it is, I would urge anyone not to make such a decision alone. I've spoken to many women who have chosen termination, and all alike regret it everyday, all moral implications aside.

But even if it's not, I'm glad to see your poetry here. I love being challenged to think on, review, and evaluate real issues.
