cant process


I don't know what to think

Got so much going on

Got a kid on the way

Even though its not yours

Am I ready to be a mom?

Not our kid.

But you are my whatever we are

Are we dating

Are we just friends

Taking care of someone 

Else’s child

What if something goes wrong?

Will you still want me around

Or find someone else

That can keep you

From hitting the ground

Taking care of a life

At young age of 18

Your throwing your life away

But that's just

The kind of person you are

You'd do anything 

For the ones that you love

Even if it means

That you risk it all

Just so you can help them in the end

But eventually you will

Hit a wall

What will you do then

You still have to work

And now your attached to a family

Is that what you want

Or is it just your obligation?

I guess that's what you risked

When you agreed to be 

The godfather.

Real father is in jail

Where he belongs

But the mother

Took her own life

So now your stuck

With this little bundle of life

Will you love her like

Shes your own

Or will you take care of her

Just so she can have a home.

Keep her from foster care

Because her parents

Will never be there.
