Sweet Sixteen.

One night of passion
between two unconcerned lovers
leads to this one uncomfortable situation
where this one particular statement
needed to be stated.
"Mom I'm pregnant"
"good gracious"
"and granted I'm young
but surely I'm not dumb
and this guy...
I swear, I just swear he's the one"
"How far along?"
"3 months
You may think that's too late
but his heart I can't break
and yes I've considered abortion
but to me that's like extortion
a crime.
to imagine my baby dying
on account of me... and my lover
but it only happened just one time
and no Mom I don't regret it
but now that I've finally said it
I have only one wish
and it's that you won't be judgemental
These circumstances are incredible
and I want this to be memorable
but the look on your face
tells me your thoughts may be dreadful"
"you're not ready"
"but mom...
we're going steady..."
