Sitting in the back of my history class
My body racking with silent sobs and pain
Terrified tears rolling down my cheeks
Contractions coming faster, again and again
Praying for the bell to ring
So I can get out of this place
And find someone who can help me
Through my agony, torment, and disgrace
Even with my head down
I hear my teacher approach
Knowing I need help, I turn to her
She gently holds me close
She takes me out to the hallway
And I explain what has transgressed
Eight months ago I was raped
By another teacher, I confess
I was afraid to tell anyone
I didn't want to cause them pain
My family had already been through so much
Another problem might drive them insane
It embarrassed me to be pregnant
Even though I did nothing wrong
I already loved the life inside of me
I felt that, for him or her, I had to stay strong
But into premature labor I went
The anguish was more than I could bear
So I explained to her what had transgressed
I had never been more scared
To the hospital we went
In a whirl of pain, tears, and fright
After hours of undescribable agony, I delivered
I had a little girl that night
I will never forget the look on her face
Her beautiful blue eyes and adorable smile
It sounds cheesy, but words cannot describe
The love I felt, and feel, for that child

Aww my dear friend ur poems just break my heart. I felt ur pain and anguish through ur words. A mother at the age of 14 is so sad, you're still just a child urself. My heart goes out to u and I pray to God to watch over u my friend. A very sad and heart wrenching poem.
God bless u and ur lovely daughter.
Hundreds of hugs to u and ur little girl,
~Sue~
