Teenage Mother

"Teenage Mother" She had it all A very bright tomorrow She always smiled Though broken internally. All was rosy... Until she stopped listening To the voices of reason We blame it all on adolescence That girl was gone for good. She started smoking Boys were the only thing she understood more than any subject Broken friendships Many wrong choices. She lost the most important key in life.........Education! Her mother died from depression An invisible father She was now on her own... Pregnant at fifteen How can a toddler look after another toddler ? When the baby cried,so was the mother. She needed money for pampers, milk ,napkins and rent, So she traded her body for a piece of bread and chicken change. It was all over for her at sixteen, She watched as her peers enjoyed the gift of youth So many regrets,yet no solutions. Another baby in her belly Disease in her veins Alcohol in her breath She died at eighteen What will happen to the lives left behind?
