The Stranger (Part 2)

I'm so scared and confused, Feeling abandoned and bruised. I'm so alone and don't know why, When I think of the stranger, I can't help but cry. It all happened four months ago, But I just recently started to show. When I see myself, I think of that day, When the stranger threw my life away. The morning after pill was not an option, Neither was abortion, but maybe adoption. I couldn't take an innocent life away; For his crime, I shouldn't have to pay. I'm so mixed up, I don't know what to do, My friends and family don't know what I've been through. I'm only a child, just barely sixteen, High School kids can be insensitive and mean. I'm going to have to tell someone soon, The baby's due at the end of June. I don't know what my family will say, And because of that, I'm dreading that day. How am I going to raise a baby, When my parents are still taking care of me? What am I going to do? How will I make it through? It's not fair that I'm forced to make this decision, But I think I'll put my baby up for adoption. That way she'll be raised in a better place, But I will never forget her face. She'll be in my heart wherever I go, And I just hope she will know, That when I lie in bed at night, I'll think about her and hope my decision was right.
