No Mistake

I had one night of fun
Now just look at what I’ve done
I girl so young
Carrying a son
All because I was stupid and listened to you
All because I thought I loved you
And you loved me too
I’ve been called a sl*t
I’ve been called a wh**e
But none of that compares to when I told you,
And you just walked out that door
How will my parents react?
A 16 year old with a baby
Will they turn their backs?
I’ve been skipping school
So I wont have to face everyone
Especially you
Look at what you put me through
I actually did think about abortion
But just the thought of killing something that was mine
A human being
Made me sick to my stomach
How could I live with myself if I actually did kill my son?
Or even if I gave him up for adoption
What if my baby needed me and I wasn’t there
Or what if he got scared because of a nightmare?
What if they put him with a family that didn’t care?
A couple of months ago the only thing on my mind was my school work
And now all I think about is this baby inside of me that I’m about to bring into this world
My life was actually normal
Until I met you
You are supposed to stick with me
I’m not asking you to marry me
At least take some responsibility
My parents found out
They are disappointed without a doubt
They barely talk to me anymore
Because they’re embarrassed that they’ve raised a “wh*re”
It’s been 9 months
And I’m due any day
I pray everything will be okay
I’m in this all by myself
No one to care
No one to help
But I’m getting through
Only because I have to
I drove myself to the hospital when I knew it was time
I was getting nervous because I was about to bring a human into the world
And he was mine
I went into labor
Knowing no one would be there when I got out
But I didn’t care because the second I saw my son come out
My life had changed
It’s like all of the problems I have gone through
Suddenly didn’t matter
Because I saw you
You were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen
And just to think
I would have given you away
If I did, I would cry everyday
Because I can honestly say
The moment I saw you, my life had changed
I didn’t care about what my parents thought
Or if the guy would be there or not
Because I was holding my own baby in my hands
I am a mother now
And I will always be here to stay
No matter what they say
But I still don’t understand how they could call my gorgeous baby a mistake
