Come Home Poem by Brandie Mejia

18 and having a baby
its not easy
the daddy 17
its not easy
parents all know
its not easy
but why wont they let you come home to me
i need you and so does your baby
i love you and so does your baby
i need you to help with your baby
your parents know...
its not easy
they had you didn't they
do they expect me to be a single mother?
and raise our child by myself?
do they think that you can just leave me?
i need you and so does the baby
i love you and so does the baby
its not easy
we know that
we know we have to give up a lot
cant go hang out
cant leave me with the baby
all alone
i need you and so does the baby
who wants their baby to grow up with out a father?
who wants their baby to grow up not knowing who you are?
i need you and so does our baby
