Dissapointment

I'm going to make you proud is what i told my dad
as i headed to the coast 
with the dreams of most
i came up here with a dream i had
but i did not fulfill that dream
and for that i am sorry dad
instead of focusing on school 
i thought i would be cool
do what everyone else did
now i am pregnant
i wanted so much to make you proud of me dad
but i see i disappointed you 
i made you really sad
i don't know what to say for myself
i am so ashamed
its time to face the facts and stop playing games
now all i can think of is what am i going to do
he said I'm here and i'm going to stick by you
but daddy i don't believe that is really true
we are both still young and got a whole life ahead
you told me
you made this mess now you have to lie in your bed
i know i am stupid for what i did
and now all i can think is should i have an abortion 
or should i keep the kid?
daddy i hope you will love me with whatever decision i make
because i know either way this is all hard to take
i know i have disappointed you but please  don't write me off 
you mean everything to me daddy
you are my rock
