I don't wanna be another statistic
Some suicidal teen
Who mkes a choice to kill herself
When the world just seems to mean.
She can't go on with life
or so to her it seems
Reality has fallen short
and so have her many dreams.
I don't wanna be another statistic
Some pregnant little girl
Who me this great guy
and then gave sex a whirl
She was only fifteen
But it felt so right
She though they'd be together
for more than just that night.
I don't wanna be another statistic
Some kid strung out on crack
Who started at a party
and now can't turn back
First cigarettes and alcohol
Now meth, heroine, and cocaine
He's been smoking it so long
That now he's gone insane
I don't wanna be another statistic
Some girl left in the rain
Who was waling home from school
Then raped and left in pain.
She can't tell her parents
and it hurts to tell her friends
She doesn't know what she'll do
To make this nightmare end.
I don't wanna be another statistic
Some kid out of skewl
Who dropped out real early
and was acting like a fool.
He though that it was dumb
He doesn't have an education
but lives on the street like a bum.
I don't wanna be another statistic
Some stereotypical teen
I'm gonna make a difference
I'll finish with my dream
I wont end up pregnant
On drugs or even dead
I won't drop out of skewl
Because I'll use my head.
I don't wanna be another statistic
To fit into some mole
of what society thinks of kids today
Because it is kind of old.
Not all of us are bad
In fact most of us are good
When will the world see us
and give us credit like they should?

"Who makes a choice to kill herself/Himself
When the world just seems to mean.
She/He can't go on with life
or so to her/Him it seems
Reality has fallen short
and so have her/Him many dreams"
So true, but to me its not being another statistic, But to end a fight I never win.
Great poem though,
You should check out some of my other poems |

| Amazing write. while i was growing up my parents told me that all they ever expected of me was to fit one of those statistics. each of these statistics are exactly who all of my friends are. however, i never became a statistic, i am in my sophmore year of college and have really turned my life around. this poem really touches me, because i was very close to becoming a statistic myself. |
