Good Nights Forever Poem by Carrie Everett

Alone in a room, screaming for help
Across your back there seems a welp
but it shoulda been expected 9 months ago
when you went too far, didn't say 'no'
he took you for granted
then his seed got planted
you had nowhere to turn
shame made your face burn
you are just a teenager
careless enough to forget the danger
you knew you shouldn't have went out
your parents wept
your stomach churned
why not back did you turn?
it would've been so easy, just to go back.
now all you have is your clothes filled sack.
you have been disowned
why are you still alone?
the guy got scared and ran
he left you with a baby in your hands
you dont know where he went to
but you know a little person now fills that empty space
you have no food or money
you're too ashamed to call home
but, that's what they wait for
you and the baby to knock on their door
you decied to chance a call
they tell you to come home, have it all
you do and are supported
even though some people are bad sported
but you live on
you make a good life
all those talkers become cons
they're in jail
but you can still pass mail
they beg for mercy
say they'll help in the nursery
all they need is money
but you say, no way, huney
I worked for mine.
Life goes on
the daddy comes home
now he pays for her snacks
wekkends keep them close,
the wait keeps them closer
finally, a marriage takes place.
their names on napkins
the family is truely together
And share I love you's and goodnights forever.
