Young Mothers Struggle


I made a mistake but that mistake wasnt my gift

my gift just was a little sip of what life didnt predict

my gift was birth but my struggle was hurt and shame

and guilt  but my life still revolved on what I couldnt fix

I cry and I prayed and asked god why me He answerd

my child you still cant give in. I wept I fail I stood once again

 Ill pass one mile stone and that was  to graduate. Failure

was never a option so my mistake was so great it pushed me harder

then gave me strength to go to college an im still pushing today.
