Is this life


At the age of 16 I was forced,

Forced to be a mother, maybe even a wife.

I don't even know how to do anything.

Is this life?

 

I have to be prepared,

With or without me, It goes on.

17 hours and 17 minutes,

Is this life?

 

She's gonna be one soon,

I feel so old, yet im only 18.

Is this life?
