Teenage Pregnancy
*When I met him, I thought I had it all*
*And I wanted him to be my all

*So the complains about him meant nothing to me at all
Advices from friends and Families was to me the voices of my enemies

*I must confess, I became obsessed, The deeper in love I fall, the handwriting upon the wall I couldn't observe*


*And when I needed comfort into his arms I flew, like a bird into it's nest when the day is due.*

*Oh please, "do you have a wife in the city*
*Do you have kids?*
*Do you... Shuuu*
*He drew closer to me, as harmless as an Angel of light, and I felt his hands like wings around my waist*
*He whispered into my ears, "think about all that I did for you*

*Fresh tears came flowing down my cheek like a waterfall, as I digged out from the grave yard the memories of what we've been through*

*Yes it's true, he has been my morning dew that keeps me fresh when the pocket is dried of rain*

*Though, Papa tried in pain, but little could his best attain, so we couldn't have been sustained*

*The thought of this broke me in two, then seeing my tears closer he drew*
*But this time, it was more than usual*

*Whiles, yet digging deeper into memories and trying to save myself from drowning in tears*
*I let myself drown in His wings, as his hands digged deeper into the members of my body*

*What just happened, what have I done?*
*What will I tell Papa and Mama?*
*But he said tell no one*

*The feeling of being unusual crept over me for days*
*Guilty of what I did, I can't see Mama's face*

*Days passed and it seems everything was alright*
*But something was wrong*
*I felt different, I wasn't sick, I wasn't strong*
*The red carpet I monthly walk on is long gone*

*No! No! No!*
*I can't be pregnant*
*I'm not ready to be a mother and my future laid stagnant*
*I'm still a student, I should have remained prudent*
*Now what would I do?*

*Then I realized that the Angel I saw was a mirage, and the true image was a devil behind the walls*
*Now Billy is gone to the city, to his wife and three kids, leaving me in pity*
*So what do I tell my Parents, that I'm Pregnant?*
*Oh what a life I have just Began*
