Already A Parent Poem by mpho mosea

I didn't know the pain
I didn't know the consequences
It was fun, interesting
I even forgot who i am
but now tears after tears

how could i take care of the child
how could i describe it to other boys
how could i show myself in public again
sometimes i get upset but that won't change anything
what's done is done
i have to accept it or not
i am already a parent

time for me to enjoy
my childhood is gone away
will i ever get it back again?
no i don't have education
i don't have dignity
but there's only one thing that will
follow me
until i die
I AM ALREADY A PARENT...
