Used and Abused

Guilty feelings is what I’m left with, How could I? How could I be so weak? How could I be so stupid? How could I believe your lies? I should have known, You were using me… I should have been stronger I could have said NO!! Like all the other times now I’m left with doubts and insecurities… You’re gone! Heaven knows if I’ll ever see you again, me and my pipe-dreams state of mind, thought you loved me All you wanted was my body now my body might change forever… I HATE YOU! for taking my innocence away… I HATE YOU! for being the reason I’m left vulnerable, left feeling used, left feeling dirty… What will my parents say? I am only fifteen, still a child myself I’m not ready to be a mother… *This poem was inspired by the high number of Teenage Pregnancies around the world*

Wilma, I'm concerned about the rate of teen pregnancies, too. I think you captured the feelings of all the young women who feel abandoned once they become pregnant. Wish the young men would behave more responsibly. Powerful poem that evokes strong emotions. Love, Carolyn

Way too many girls have felt exactly like this. Even in cases where they dont end up pregnant, the feelings they experience lead so many down the road to self destruction. Well said! -Laura
