Life Poem

Chapter 9

Small...

Innocent...

Fragile...

A great big bundle of joy...

Regret...

Oppression...

Transgression...

Isolation...

These are the consequences to my actions

And as a result my life has shattered into pieces; mere fractions

What to do? How to feel?

What to say? How do I make it go away?

No...wait; such a sweet innocent soul should not be condemned

My religion forbids it

Oh heaven have mercy!

What to do? How to feel?

What to say? How do I make it go away?

In Zion's time before the birth of our redemption, if a teenage girl ever got 'expectant' and it wasn't her betrothed's doing...

Then she'd be thrown out into the street

Confronted with the kisses of stone

In the Victorian Era, young women weren't allowed to bed more than one man

If they so much as do so...you can imagine they'll be the source of every

Gossipers' topic

Today?

It is certain enough to ignite a plethora of nagging, cold gazes and people tormenting

Certain enough that it would have you locked up in your room crying, screaming, regretting

That's...if you still have a room...

UGH!

WHAT TO DO? HOW TO FEEL?

WHAT TO SAY...HOW DO I make it go away?

But it is only in these troublesome times

Do you realize who will truly fight for you; stay by your side

Family will neglect you

Friends will isolate you

Society...? They'll just judge you...

Oh God...

What to do? How to feel?

What to say...how can I keep you safe?

I'm sorry that you had to conceived this way

Without a family and a father

Well, no need to worry little one

You have Me for that matter

I will love you when people spat curses before knowing you

I will nurture you, who said mothers can't be fathers too?

Society, don't listen to what they say

Know that God loves you...unconditionally each and everyday

Yes

I know what to do. I know how to feel

I know what to say and I know that I will keep you safe

I am not alone anymore, little love

I have God and you

A/N: Hey guys! So long time no read. This is a poem written by me recently for my English SBA. It is based off of the theme Teenage Pregnancy. With the data that I received from my Visual, Written and Audio pieces i was able to compose this. I hope that you enjoyed it and that, as sad as it is, that some of you can relate to it as well. Society judging these young women as a result of their action is totally uncalled for.

We all make mistakes and if it were us in their shoes, we would want support even of we know there is a 50% chance that we might not receive it, but there is nothing wrong with hoping and keeping a positive attitude. As brothers and sisters (in the eyes of GOD) we should be looking after one another and not criticizing them.

We should support them and be there in their time of need. We must never be so cruel against one another some might seem like they deserve it and that might be true, but at the end of the day...we need to at least try to put ourselves in their shoes.

I hope that my insight and this poem will help those who are going through this become stronger and others to ponder on these facts and have a change of heart; especially the family members. 

Blood is thicker than Water.
