Statistics

I don't want to be in the news
as a statistic to this world

I don't want to be a statistic
in a book about being a teen cutter

A pregnant teen
who will soon
be a mother without
knowing the father

Being raped
by a man
with no feelings
for others

Other teen statistic
about getting drunk at a party
grabbing the keys to the car

Hitting someone else's car
with a family of 4 inside
killing herself and the family inside

Just not other teen statistic
about being a suicdial teen
That takes her life
so others can see
She is another stat

Another teen
that gets into drugs
becomes addicted and
lives on the streets

A teen statistic
that drops out
of school and has
no future to look up to

I don't want to be just other teen statistic
