Falling Behind

One class of twenty just two years ago

All curled up at our desks with places to go

All around seventeen and senseless, naive

We grew in that class wed all liked to leave

It was one day a secret between friends, the best

A secret that escaped out to the rest

We all were in shock and you would be too

For the secret got bigger, one girl grew

It was around the beginning when we found out 

When we began to think what babies were all about

It must have caught on, like a wild disease

Because four more girls ended up on their knees

Two gave birth and are as happy as they can seem

Two still with child trying their best to beam

It makes me look at myself a little harsher

Wondering if my own belly should be larger

One girl got married, the rest engaged

While I just go to work, slightly outraged

Their all around my age, but further by far

Making me wish I was where they are

Holding a sweet life I helped create

Being that much closer to my lifelong soul mate

Married and happy like they all simply say

And then I think hard at my life, which is actually gay

I just go to work, come home and relax

No crying baby, no husband, no diaper packs

Just me and sound sleep for a few years to come

While those young mothers are stuck with dead beat scum

I hate that I feel I am missing out

But someday Ill know what this kid things about

I used gay in a happy manner. Happiness, as in my lifes not really that bad but thank you for the criticism

[Tai Ryens]

I believe you've done a fine job, though there is much room for a couple improvements. A couple words of constructive criticism; you should read over what you've written; there are a couple grammatical errors. Another thing is wrong use of few words, such as the word 'gay.'
Other than that; I'd say you have a fine concept and lots of potential.
