Gift

It was not my birthday, it was not Christmas
but I was hit with a big surprise
such a wonderful adoring gift
such a blessing in disguise. 

It wasn't in my wish, but what a wonderful gift 
what will I do when it arrives?
So young I am, for these instructions at hand
will it totally change our lives?

As I think and think , I worry and worry
what will my parents say about my decision?
Will I be viewed as "bad" because of this decision I have
because I am still under their supervision?

As I think and think, I can't help but cry
I know the world just won't ever understand it
I leave it a secret, I don't know if I could keep it
I am feeling so lost and abandoned. 

I made my decision, what a horrible feeling
as I walk alone in this rain
I gave you away because of what they would say
but only I have to deal with the pain.
