Heavy Teenager

Emotions are unexplainable-
you may be scared to share
the fantasies you crave, but
you’ll one day become everything
your mother warned you about,
a man will sing melodies
and you will dance, fall in love,
I won’t ask you not to explore, but
when it is legal; when it is legal
and you want to have consensual sex,
do not allow a man
that you’re not married to
thrust you without protection,
you may carry a child or/an STD,
and he will vanish… into thin air.
