A Day in the life of a 16yo


"Is it so hard to say no?" She asked me with tears in my eyes, a mommy to be I gasp for air, the stench of remorse decisions iv made behind closed doors lead me only to this point of time in my life Im sixteen with a future of struggle and strife Now i clench my sweater sleeves and shrivel inside I hate to see the disappointment in my mothers eyes It took months to gather strength enough to say "I love you" But only moments on top of me then hes finished hes through He had nerve to utter "im not ready for a baby" under his breath Does he know how many child births end in the mothers deaths? He didnt even apologize just started to cry I plopped down on his bed and let out a sigh "Will you come with me to tell my mom" i said He quietly sat next to me on the edge of the bed He said "Itll be best if you do that on your own" He didnt say that while i was making him moan! I left in a fit angrily hurrying His mother stopped me in midst of my scurrying She asked "Arrie dear what ever is wrong" I replied "I think its best you ask your son" As i arrived home my mother was waiting I sat on the couch nervous debating rather i should stay or walk away How could i find the words say "Mom im pregnant!!" There i had done it all she could say was "Is it so hard to say no?"

Hello my name is Ariell. Im a 21 year old young lady from Riverside california who has an intense longing to be heard to be apart of something much bigger then me. I want to help make a difference in this world through poetry! Im not sure why spoken word and poetry appeal to me, maybe its the stories behind each one, maybe its the subliminal messages....either way i have a love for it and can only hope to meet others with the same passion and dreams!
