Teen mom burden

To be faced with financial burden is no joke

These teen moms are always broke

Hard to get by on minimum wage

Week by week they have to gage

How much money for food, clothes and rent

By the end of the week, all the moneys been spent

We sit here asking what they aspire to be And all they can think about are the costs and the fees

School isn't cheap, we all can relate

This upcoming term alone will cost us 2,468

So who are we to judge where their money should go

These young moms constantly worried about how their child will grow

In this world full of judgment, hate and blame I couldn't help but notice their heads looking down with shame

I wanted to tell them to be proud of who they are

Because that incision line on your belly is not just a scar

It's a symbol of strength, purpose and love

A sign this gift of life was sent from above

Lets take some time to think about what was said

Because it's not going to be easy, there's a long road ahead

Let us stick together to find people who care

Because we should never feel alone; there's good people out there I swear

So the next time you see a teen mom on the street

Lend a helping hand to get them back on their feet
