It ain't easy
being a teenage mother
but that's what happens
when you see a boy, get cute,
then stupid.
Yea, you end up in some real [edited].

A boy's lover, a baby's mother
it's never expected when you're
caught up in the moment
and you don't know where you're going
all you know is life's a [edited]
when you're 2 months pregnant and showing

Now you're all confused,
worn out and feeling used.
No more baby's daddy in your life.
Grades are dropping, parties are stopping,
and you're too young to be a wife

Got all big headed from a boy's lies.
Now you're all big bellied and treat it
like a surprise.
Why?
why were you so stupid?so careless?
so wild? Now baring a child
you ask yourself was it really worthwhile.

This was a bit disturbing, but written well. A rhyme from time to time in the middle of nowhere is sometimes a great technique for a poem.
It sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. Good luck.

Well thanx , I appreciate that but no need to worry I'm not a teenage mother but I decided to write about one since it's not the usual stuff I write about.

Take care,

This sounds like it should be a rap. It reminds me of City High's "What Would You Do?". I like the style of this, and the message. Nice work.

Thanx, I take that as a real compliment especially since I love City High and that song "What Would You Do?" happens to be one of my favorites. I must say I didn't have that song in mind when I wrote this but hey if it reminds you of it that's cool.

Take care,

This is a very good topic to bring up and show others the mistakes that can be made. Though a lot of kids would say, "I'm not that stupid", it still can happen. I hope other readers can learn from this and keep it in their minds. Thanks for sharing

Wow, so much power in here. You really wrote this well. I am impressed.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

i find it VERY hard to do character writes, especially in poetry. i think you did this VERY well, you had the language down to par- made it seem genuine. good stuff trina, i enjoyed the read..
