Too young

Thoughts are racing,
As I see the results.
How could this happen to me?
Never did I think it would be me with this problem.
I was always so damn lucky.
I guess my luck just ran out.

What will my boyfriend say?
I hope he won’t blame me.
It’s his fault too.
I know he knows that’s true.
We were in so much love,
Caught up in the moment,
We didn’t think to use protection.
After all I’m on the pill.
It said it protects 98%,
Guess I’m in the minority.
I just don’t know what to do.

I’m so scared to tell my parents.
They’ll surly hate me for this.
How can confront them?
What do I say, “Hey mom and dad, guess what I’m pregnant.”
No, but I gotta tell them.
It’s their right to know.
They always said they’d love me no matter what.
But on this one, They’ll think twice about that.

What do I do?
Do I abort?
Do I give up the life that’s inside?
Do I have the child?
If so, how will I support it?
Will the father take his place?
Or will he desert his own blood?
Will he love me too?
Or just say I’m his baby’s mama?

I’ve got to answer these questions on my own.
For I could’ve said no,
But I didn’t.
So now I’m faced with this unfortunate predicament,

The only thing I do know is,
Both me and him are too young to be parents.
But now we both have to grow up.
