Waiting

By: Dyamond Robinson

30 Minutes
The Anticipation is eating me alive,
Trembling at the thought of something growing inside my 16 year old body, I’m terrified, what am I going to do?

20 minutes
“Oh God what am I going to do?
I’m too young to raise someone else, I can barely raise myself! ” What am I going tell my mom?
What am I going tell him?

15 Minutes
The clock is steady ticking,
My patience is running thin.
Tears streaming down my face while I wait, Nervously,
Anxiously,
W aiting

5 Minutes to go
5 minutes to know whether my life will change, 5 minutes to know if I have to grow up,
5 minutes to realize what I did,
5 minutes of regret,
5 minutes to make a decision.

1 Minute
59, 58, 57…
This is it,
My life could be over,
My future. .. Graduating high school. … Going away to college. … Why was I so careless and stupid?

30, 29, 28,27…
Why won’t my tears stop falling? Lord please help me. …
I’m not ready for this. ..

5,4,3.2….. Oh my God I’m pregnant…
