Keep Your Head Held High

I see you walking through the halls at school You used to look so put together but now, not so much I've heard rumors and nasty words, but I don't really pay attention I only know you now have a baby boy and I know you're proud of him You are not ashamed. For a while you weren't around You had to be at home taking care of Baby Your boyfriend is still loyal So many these days aren't. You're one of the lucky ones Your parents didn't disown you they may be disappointed but they still love you. You must be tired, staying up all night, taking care of Baby. It must be hard dealing with the stares from your peers I know I couldn't do it. I'm not that strong. You have to keep holding on and make a good home for Baby Maybe Baby will make you proud and you won't regret this one day. You're not the only one You're one of millions Don't listen to the harsh words. Stay strong gorgeous, Because everyone's just waiting to see you fall apart.
