The Young Struggle
Walking around school with the big stomach
Thinking how seven months ago I thought it could
never happen to me
I'm to pretty to classy
That just to trashy for me
Rushing my way to the toilet, throwing up all my
dreams and goals for now, I'll have
to catch up somewhere down the road
Only sixteen, going from baby girl to baby momma
Wishing I could somehow go under cover.
Now look at me, the outcome of not using
common sense
Didn't think because I was caught up in all the suspense
Listening to his sweet nothings ended
me up to this
I feel so alone
The girl that had the baby in high school
is now how I'm known
They look down on me, saying
how I messed up my life
My friends parents don't let them come
over anymore, because
I'm the pregnant girl
The one that crushed her perfect little world
It's funny…I thought it could never
be me.
I'm to pretty to class
That's just to trashy for me
No attention is paid to the boy who made
this little girl a mother
He some how just disappeared
He went under cover
One more month until we begin this eighteen year struggle.
