Statistic

Statistic

A Poem by Frankie Nguyen
"

It's not really a poem, but it's not really a story. It's more of an idea for something, but I don't know what to do with it. If you have any idea as to what to do with it let me know.

"

            I never thought I’d be a statistic, but then again things never go the way that you planned. I never planned to have a baby at eighteen or become a single mother. Things just happened that way. Decided to date my best friend because, those relationships always work out right? Not likely. We found out I was pregnant in July and he promised that we would be a happy family. Well, that surely turned out the way we planned. Our son’s not even two months old yet and I’m already a single mother. So, now I have school to think about and my baby boy. I have to worry about graduating and then going to college in the fall. I have to raise my son. I have to survive. I didn’t plan on becoming one of those girls, or the statistic. It just turned out that way.
