At first I thought you were talking about the troubled teenage mother, and then.. perhaps... her unborn. Just... so sad!!!

Thank you all very much! As I stated, I am really overwhelmed with the response to this poem and really touched that it moved so many people. It means so much.
By the way, if I don't seem around it's due to a significant decrease in my internet time. I'm planning next week to get on the work computer in the evening and read everyone's work.
Take good care!

Congratulations Bev,
You have many outstanding works here at MLM but I believe most would agree that this one is really special. It is very powerful and touched many people in a very unique and different way.
You very effectively used repetition of a phrase without it being boring. The total lack of punctuation and capitals adds, rather than detracts, from the total effect.
Outstanding !

Thank you Terry and John. You are right, John - there are many out there who we tend to see only the superficial and not the struggle within. We pass judgements without knowing. Terry, yes, it's a reality that is out there. I appreciate your comments!

The sad thing about it Bev is that there is many out there like this and NO-ONE Does stop to ask.
A very powerful poem that forces one to think about it.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate all the feedback. It started with that one line (maybe she wanted it that way) and I kept playing around with it. It really is awesome when a poem emotionally moves people, that's what it's all about.

Another good one, Bev. The pain this girl feels is really apparent. It really broke my heart to think that there are such lost souls out there. Jackie
