Teen Mother

I want to run,
I want to hide,
My life is a long and twirling slide,
I go round and round,
Getting closer to the ground,

I am no longer one,
I have another inside me,
What have I done?
He didn’t deserve me,

It’s an unbreakable chain,
Linked to me forever,
Im stuck in this Domain,
I should have been clever,

What will mum say?
How can I tell dad?
Today is the day,
They’re gonna be so mad,

Will it look like me?
What if it is mean?
After all,
Im only Sixteen,
