Those Words
(poems go here) "I'm pregnant" Jane Doe announced to her parents.
She waited for their reaction
For those two words that felt like a thousand to have their affect.
Those words have before brought tears from her eyes, had send chills down her back and disappointment in herself.
Those to works had sent her boyfriend running.
But not before calling her names and disowning a baby that was yet to be born and clearly his.
He blamed her for those words as if it did not take two to make them possible.
Those words had similar reaction from her friends.
When her back was turned they called her names, and refused to hang out with her.
Apparently having a pregnant friend was dangerous to their reputation.
So Jane Doe waited for her parent’s reaction.
And as if she was having déjà vu all their reactions were predictable.
Tear, Disappointment, anger.
The same reaction she had.
The same as her boyfriend.
The same as her friends.
Just two words have caused those emotions.
Just two words have ruined her life.
Just two words have changed everything forever.
If she had just said "no" to start with.
