When You Want to Give In
Growth of Your Soul
When you want to give in
And the easy route is a sin
It's time to begin
The growth of your soul
when your willpowers down
your donning a frown
and you want to leave town
thats how you take control
the disease that is around
it pounds and it drowns
just listen to the sound
of your heart saying persist
you might feel like you’ll break
and it's all you can take
your slowly wishing to make
a way out, I say resist!
I insist you push
now I want to explain
because I would refrain
from using this for every situation
these moments come when you have the ability to choose which path to take
short or long term ease
and I am always pleased with the latter
I don't always have a choice
Some moments are thrown on and all you can do is wait
But when life hands you an option you can decide your fate.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
