To Conceive and Let Go

You lay down with a man For the very first time Unknowingly conceive a child That will soon die And now you can’t figure out why You didn’t make him wear protection So you wouldn’t end up pregnant And to save your body from infection Now this child who deserved a chance Will die before become a fetus You could have taken care of that child Or given it to family you could trust But this one night Of infatuation and lust Brought about unplanned pregnancy But you choose not to Face up to your responsibility You go and abort this child Without thinking twice But you know in your heart That its just not right You’re only sixteen But what does that mean? You were old enough to spread your legs And old enough to have a man in your bed But can’t take care of a child You had without being wed So because of your naïve childish ways Your baby never got to see The light of one day
