Description: Again, just some random thoughts... Not put together very well, but it's just a spur of the moment type thing. I'm too worried about what this poem is about to figure out a good 'rythm' or 'form'... -_-
What if . . ? -------------------------------------------
Ingnorance and bliss
To fill a young life to the brim.
A cup soon to be empty
Shattered with a single statement.
"What if you're pregnant?"
The word starts a chill
at the bottom of my spine.
One that runs through every limb
and every nerve.
Try to disconnect
Try to let it all float downstream
Forget the word
Forget the thought
"What if you really are?"
I can't lose the thought
Can't forget the worry...
Can't take back the words
and can't turn back the clock.
Two little hands with 10 tiny fingers.
Miniature feet to kick and squirm.
9 months of waiting to see
A smile that's like no other.
"What if I am..?"
What about highschool?
College? Marriage? A job?
Who will clean the dirty diapers,
while I try to make something out of the life I threw away?
But I didn't throw it away...
Even through all the rollercoaster feelings,
through all the "what a mistake"s...
I'm in love already.
"Bring it on"
That's all I have to say.
I won't let you bring me down,
Because I'm stronger than that,
And I'll do what I have to.
This is really outstanding You are already showing the heart and Love a mother needs to give to her child I am positive you will make a great parent God Bless Your Friend Ron
