Choices

this is not what I expected 
now that I am not respected 
because I forgot to take 
a pill causing a bad mistake 
in the life of a scared teen 
now I am stuck in between 
the choice to bring into this world 
a helpless little boy and girl 
or commit the act of murder 
and not take this any further 
there was no easy solution 
each day there was more confusion 
in my heart trying to find 
the answer for whats on my mind 
turning back the clock to fix 
the error that was causing this 
would have been a worse mistake 
knowing that I could not take 
the memories of never knowing 
how my babies are now growing 
into my two precious twins 
im glad i made the choice to win 
my own family filled with love 
each night I thank heaven above 
for giving me the strength to see 
some things are just meant to be
