Locked Up

Locked up, struggling to figure out why I am being punished now for the mistakes of my past. Yeah I may have ran away four different times but people do change. Now I am sitting here seven months pregnant, my fiance is on the outs waiting patiently for me. Seventeen years old and I have two children now, trying to finish high school. I got my prioritoes straight, but I can't do anything while I am sitting here locked up. My mistakes from my past are haunting me. People think that they know how badly that I have been hurt, but no body really knows but me. Locked up, trying to figure out why I am now being punished, when I wasn't even taught the difference between right and wrong. Locked up for the stupidest thing with no one to turn to for help.
