Teen Pregnancy

At seventeen I took a test.
My hands were shaking.
My head was a mess.
I had to confess.

There was plenty of arguments, and
talks of abortion.
I knew it was way to early, but
how could I tell them that's not what I wanted.
I stood my ground.
We kept the baby.
Hoping that our families wouldn't hate me.

After the first scan,
everything turned around.
We were met with complete support,
and love all round.

It's a healthy baby boy, we were told.
But, how could I raise a baby boy at just seventeen years old.

It was a stressful few months,
I had a lot to learn.
But, I knew as long as I love him,
he will love me in return.
