He was buggin' and beggin' that "Oh Baby, Baby,
if you loved me you would."

But he ain't mention the
Blood
Pain
And Regret.

While he was in a zone, I was all
Alone
Dirty
And Embarrassed.

Two months gone by and I'm pissed 'cause
I was dissed and I missed
Oh
No
Not this!

If you hear me Lord, please don't let me get
Herpes
Gonorrhea
Or Syphilis.

And AIDS - no way!
That's too high a price for a kid to pay.

Poem from my young adult novel, Imani in Young Love & Deception c1999 Jackie Hardrick

once, the fact that youth, immaturity and impulsiveness go together was merely difficult, today it's more dangerous and potentially deadly than ever. Kids are forced to grow up too fast in an over-sexualized culture. /// Fine writing!
