Amy Crofts Poet Narrative

Too Much, Too Young

Looking back,
i should have listened to what they said
to the advice they gave but i did not 
and look at me now
 
Two children later,
my daughter deceased, a son of two 
and inside i am still a baby myself 
made to grow up 

Act your age,
thats what they said but how can I do that now 
I am nineteen but have soembody other than me
to consider

I will always be here,
is what most of them said 
two years later where are you all
there not friends

Decisions, decisions 
my options were open, i chose the wrong one
and now i must deal with it for the sake of my son 
I have done too much, too young

It's the decisions we make and the path we take that determines where we will end up. It is never to late to change.
