Christina

Christina was depressed coming out of the loo She wasn’t the vibrant happy woman that I once knew She then looked up at me and then she cried She said she was confused, because now she has a baby inside. She said she tried to be a good girl and follow the rules But her sister told her that her habits were for fools So she drank and smoked and then she went wild Now she has a headache and worries, and also with child. Christina wanted a career and a family that was her plan She wanted to be married and not just live with a man A role model she wanted to be for her cousins and nieces Now she thinks of her future and how it's slowly falling to pieces. She wanted so much from her future and her life Someday, one day she wanted to be a mother, but first a wife She wanted so much not to be like her mom or her sister Now she walks their road, with the same shame and blister. Christina sat on my couch and then she began to weep She thought of her reputation and how could she ever go to sleep There is a baby inside of her and soon she will be a mother She never expected it to happen to her, but always to another. She pondered and pondered on what she should do or say Her future and life is gone, she has chucked both of them away Now her family and friends she will soon have to confront She is no longer that sweet and innocent girl, she is now pregnant.
