She's beautiful, loves dancing and painting too

She works hard, everyday attends to school

She loves the time with her family and friends

And prays for it to never have an end

She adores a boy and falls in love

Always feels as if he's from above

Feeling high never wanting to come down

They talk for hours about the world around

It all seems so perfect without a second guess

Love is all she sees, nothing more, nothing less

As time passes by, day after day

Right before her eyes their love begins to slip away

She feels a difference with the connection between

She is no longer feeling like a royal queen

Where is their love going? She begins to wonder

She doesn't enjoy the feeling of going under

A phone call comes to her from a friend

What she hears she can't comprehend

She feels disgusted as the walls begin to spin

Her control of emotions starts to grow thin

She slowly presses end on her cell phone

Feels the whole time she's been with a clone

"It can't be him, he is against every lie"

She tells herself as she feels an urge to cry

This is why he always slipped away

She sees the games he wants to play

He was unfaithful and betrayed her

The anger within her begins to transfer

Now she understands what she must do

She knows that she can make it through

She forgets his promises and leaves

Respect and truth is what she believes

He disrespected her with what he did

While she was carrying his own kid

He lost the truth that he swore to hold

Withholding truth is just as cold

After all this she puts him behind

She begins new while feeling undefined

She holds her hed up high for she knows

When her child looks at her its strength she shows

  1. Alexis,  this is an amazing narrative.  It tells a powerful story that many young mothers can probably relate to.  You should introduce this site to your friends in teen parenting.  If you posted this "public" rather than "logged in users" it'll show for anyone purusing the net:)

  2. i really like this poem. it really show that you are stong and that you could move on, unlike other people (me) its a little harder to be strong and move on. i also like how it sort of was like a story, talked about how it was at first then how it suddenly started to change. the stanza or line 11 and 15 i could relate to. its really hard to just see how something comes and you feel like its everything but then suddenly it starts to drift away. also like how you use she a lot in the first lines alot you should use it once, and when you say "she starts new" put like something else like, she starts a new life or something like that. when you got the phone call how did you feel? who was on the phone? what do you mean clone? did you ever talk to him again after that phone call? it says that you begin to feel anger and that you know that you should move on. it says that a friend was on the phone. what i think clone ment was that you only saw the good part of him. over all your poem was about you and how your bf. broke your heart and how your baby helped you move on. this piece is really good. i bet a lot of people can relate to it. :)
