Lost Son
I sit here wondering what in the future I will become
I have a three year old son I'm pregnant with no job and I'm only twenty one
I'm not ready to have a second kid and there's no where for me to run
because I need an education to get a good job for my kids and my life has just begun
now my baby is born
I'm so depressed my heart is torn
to give him away I would never is what I've sworn
my pain is so intense it feels like a thorn
now my baby Jerrick is one month old
I'm sending him to Vegas with my mom it just seems cold
my tears are wetting his mickey mouse outfit as him I hold
my story needs to be heard so my story will be told
my mom said she'd watch him for just a few months and he'd still be mine
a few months turned into ten years or more like a lifetime
at the beginning it was so hard but now I know he's just fine
sometimes I just wish I could turn back time

It is hard when you give up a child even if it is to a family member. I hope you have been able to maintain contact with your son.

Good writing.
