Title: Mistake
Writer: Sarah Stanley
16 Years of age
working for minimum wage
at home sits his wife
taking care of a new life
One night they got a little wild
In 9 months they had a little child
they both felt like a fool when they both dropped out of school
and without a doubt there parents kicked them out.
and instead of Harvard, instead of FSU
there home helping junior learn to tie his shoe.
there lives would've been perfect
they would've been just fine
but now he's working 12 hour days
below the poverty line
