Pregnancy Poem

My name is Elizabeth. I was made to be perfect and innocent because I was a daughter of a priest. I had to be innocent but I thought sex was going to make me cool and bad because I was tired of being innocent and yes I guess it made me cool for a while until I got pregnant and then I was a slut but they are doing the same thing I did.

How Did I Let This Happen?

© Elizabeth
How did I let this happen?
What happened?
This can not be?
Not me?
How?
How I may be 13 but I am not stupid I know how!
I didn't know what was happening.
It was like 2 seconds long!
Then I was late!
I couldn't even face my parents.
When I told them their barely 13 year old daughter
was going to have one of her own?
They couldn't face me.
They are disgusted.
They tried to send me away.
Now I am living with my sister.
How could can I go on with my life?
Slut they call
I know I'm nothing at all
How could the priest daughter be pregnant at age 13?
My sister says I should get an abortion because I am to little to have a baby!
She says that a 13 year old 5 foot 1 90 pound girl can not have a baby!
BUT I AM A FIGHTER
The options are clear to me I am going to give her up
or I keep her.
Its going to be tough but I have to choose between a life I once knew
Its gone its so far away its hazy
How did I ever think I would be cool if I did that stuff
it made me cool for like 3 months
And now I am being called a SLUT
How can they say that they are doing the same thing I did?
I am the only person who is going to pay
Pay and even an innocent little girl that could've gone to anyone
anyone else
someone
someone else
please take her!
I love her I can't keep her when she's out
she's going to someone who can give her a good life
Because that's how strong my love is for her
She will always be mine
But I know that I can't keep
if I could I would
but I need her to get a good life
Life
that's all I can give her

  • I had my first daughter at 17 and my whole family wanted me to have an abortion and kicked me out of home but then, when she was born, they all rejoiced and tried to help me every possible way they could think of. Surely a good Christian mother would help her daughter raise her grandchild

  • I cannot imagine your fear and pain, but I do hope that somebody gives your baby a good home and I do hope that you will learn a valuable lesson from this. Be strong, be stronger, and be the strongest you can ever be because you have experienced much pain and from pain grows understanding, compassion, and wisdom. Make the REST OF YOUR LIFE about that wisdom.
