Four years ago she was laying in a
Hospital bed, crying.
How could I do this to myself and her?
She kept asking herself.
But it was too late to turn back,
Because her baby girl was already gone.
She had one more chance to go back,
But she couldn't help but put her needs,
Her only child's,
Before her own needs.
No time to think about this.
No time to question yourself,
You can't take care of her like they can.
You are too young,
You will be a single mother,
You are only 16, how are you going to do this
By yourself with school, as well as
Providing for your child?
She thought it all through.
But what she didn't think through is that
Maybe there was a way
To do both.
In the end, by the time she
Realized that, it was too late.
She had already signed the paper,
And shed a river of tears.
In the end, all she wants is to say goodbye.
She wants the pain to go away.
She wants to stop the tears,
She wants to stop the rain.
But she can't.
It wasn't her choice
It wasn't in her power.
She wanted to protect her life
But she couldn't.
It was impossible to know life's next step.
It was a mystery to everybody.
Instead, she just took the step that
She thought was best for everyone.
She made it her life, her own.
She had to accept the change and go on
With life for her child's sake.
Then, she realized it was for herself as well.
That little girl at one time was the only pain
She could imagine, but now she is her only hope.
To make the best of herself.
