she touched her belly and she never looked back <br />all she depended on were the clothes that she packed <br />no one could tell if she was scared or not <br />nobody knew what they thought. <br />'how could someone like her do this? ' <br />the repercussions of just one kiss <br />maybe this baby was her destiny <br />but all she could ask was: why did this happen to me. <br />bearing the burden of a secret storm <br />when she decided the baby wouldn't be born <br />but then she felt that baby inside her kick <br />the thought of killing almost made her sick <br />now she stood firm with her decision to keep <br />even though the fear wouldn't let her sleep <br />back at school she was ostracized. <br />done with telling everybody lies <br />she was so thankful for the friends who stayed <br />but no one could steer her from being afraid. <br />she knew 9 months should go by fast <br />but her fear was forgotten at last <br />she looked into the eyes of her brandnew girl <br />promising the whole world to her <br />much later now as she reflects <br />she knows that it was just a test <br />and though she's had her share of doubts <br />her daughter's love is all that counts.<br /><br />Desiree Whitamore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-mom-kkkiinndddaaa/
