A New Woman
yet who knows what you could be next and when it will happen
if you are scared... how can you want to know.
how can you be thrilled to be mother at seventeen?
stupid and desperate, but i am scared what will they think, what will they say i need confidentiality... no, no. no... you got to tell ya mama.
Why should you have to tell her something you were never ready to be or have.
Why does life have to change who you are.
first you're a baby, then you're a girl or boy... then you're just a kid, then you're a teenager, at seventeen you're a miss...
maybe you could be a mother... yet who knows?
how can you be thrilled to be mother at seventeen?
