Incognito Abortion

so this guy goes to school
he knows what happened but keeps it cool
dreading the innevitable long day ahead
regreting the decision to get out of bed
takes the whispers in like a champ
attention drawn to him like a moth to a lamp
but he stays persistant and ignores the puns
he rules out suicide and forgets bringing guns
because he knows the truth and thats all that matters
he can live with rejection and all the chatter
even though he will have to live with out his child
which even the thought can drive a man wild
he has been stressed to the greatest of distortions 
about his girlfriend's incognito abortion
