Teen Mom

Hey 15 year old, remember this time last year that your mom was yelling at you to wake up and get ready before you missed the bus?
Remember her making your breakfast while you were snotty acting and taking too much time to do your makeup? 
 Remember her telling you to do your best and that she knew you would have a great life if you applied yourself? 
All you could do was grumble about how school shouldn't start so early and how she pissed you off by waking you up before the sun. 
Well, how does it feel now to be where you are? Waking up every two hours because YOUR child is crying? 
 Being forced to watch your friends board the bus that not long ago you didn't want to ride, while you are standing at the window with your baby?
 And you look down at her, your way out of going to school, and you realize how much harder this cop out is. 
 And although you would never label her a mistake, you still know in your heart that you certainly made the wrong decision.
 And you whisper in her ear, where your own mother can't hear lest she be right, "You are going to BE something some day..."
