Dancing in the junior high gym
Liking someone not talking to them
Least your secrete be taken and displayed
If heart is for breaking with egg on face
Little teal touch by a sweaty hand
Old enough to love too young to understand
A kiss as a promise to walk you through
All the drama of junior high school
There’s teen pregnancy and I won’t judge
But it won’t be me cuz I won’t give it up
Yet I will follow my heart and find
Puppy love rarely last a long time.
TEEN PREGNANCY
In hospital and streets
Estates and villages
Huge boards
Printed and written
But worldwide it still happens
Every morning and every night
With none taking responsibility
Its like curses and evil ghosts hailing us
We hate young girls
We cast them as cheap and lust filled
They have done what they intended to
But they were forced...the other gender forced them
It has come to close eye under search
It has ruined the close relationship of gender
Yes you taught them in school and non governmental houses
But they had no choice for resistance
May be poverty fumed im all corners of their homeland
And the option came with consequences
They took risk for rescue
Don't cast them out of their fathers gates
Lets all stand and confess for hatred
Lets love them and give company
Support where necessary
For what happened and gave a result is an achievement!

I come from broken glass and tv shows.
From love filled lies and budweiser cans.
Police Lights and Shouting.
I am from broken vows.
Loving spouses, that left and didn’t come back until the next day.
I come from dead grandparents and tears.
Hospice Hours and Hospital visits.
Crosses and Blessed Oil.
I come from forced religion, the holy trinity.
Broken Promises and Grieving fathers.
Long school days with no friends, like movies without popcorn.
I come from teen pregnancy and fighting to get a degree.
I come from success and pain.
Dear Mom,
This letter is for your eyes only
Something to reflect on
Whenever you're feeling lonely
I know these days and times things are tough
And you know that's not pleasing to me
Just to know behind ever tear there's a smile
That makes the hardest things easy
Life's problem don't have a friend
No matter whom you are, or what you've been through
Thanks for being A Strong Black Woman
And not allowing them to break you
Single Parenting, Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Drug Dealing, The Prison System, and even Teen Pregnancy
They all threw rocks at you
But you never shattered
Simply Loving the Lord with your whole heart
Is all that mattered
You taught me to keep prayer as my partner in ever hand that is dealt
I LOVE YOU for that, and thank you very, very much
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP!
She was making love with him the other night
Without protection she felt alright
Yesterday she found herself worried instead of proud
Cos she was sure that she hasn’t got IT this month
Today doctor said, “Congratulation. You’re going to be a mom.”
“Uh-Oh”, that all she could say
Realized she only is sixteenth just today!

I sit in an open room
watching young girls come in and out
the clipboard in my lap
she calls my name and i stand
with slightly pudgy belly
scared
knowing there's a life already within
she know's i'm scared, but leads me to the hallway bathroom
handing me a cup for my sample
so i do what i am told
waiting in the exam room
i am shaking when she reads the pregnancy test
two single lines form
i am pregnant
i cry for a minute
out of shame
maybe relief,
because now i know i'm not alone
then i look at her puzzled
I have no family, no relatives
i've moved away so many times
running from my past
she hugs me, tells me everything will be fine
I smile and believe her
cause i have no one else to trust
eight months later she is by my side at the hospital
she smiles and says "everything will be fine"
I cry because i know someone out there cares!
*There is always someone out there that will help a teen in need.
Women's center's are only a phone call away.
