Unexpected & Unbelievable

How things can change in your life and change how you see things

To handle unexpected gifts
Is always unbelievable
To handle unexpected horrors
Is always unbelievable

To learn that you're three months pregnant
Is a freighting and unexpected gift
Knowing that theirs a gift on its way

That you’ll be raising a child fatherless
That shall  grow like a flower In a garden
Need to be feed and taken cared of
cherished and loved

You’ll fear the worse
But you’ll get control back
And live your life
In new  eyes

To learn that you caught a STD
While having a one night stand
Is totally unexpected and unbelievable
You'll wonder why this happened to you
You’ll fear the worse
But you’ll get control back
And live your life

In new  eyes
Both terrifying and unexpected
Things in your life
Shall always turn your life
Into something better
As you travel down that path..

It's good that you took the optimistic viewpoint and made it the foundation of the theme of the poem. It does sound pretty scary and bleak as the events unfold and I thought you were going to aim for the viewpoint of: See this is what can happen if you don't wise up. But you made it more reassuring in the face of stress and uncertainty. Nice job.

Bittersweet and honest. I hope it is not autobiographical. If it is you will make the best of it. Live and learn. If not, this is still a powerful write.

Life is sometime easy and most times hard. You told a sad story of disappointment and re-awakening. No-one learn the easy way. I like this poem. Direct and to the point. Your ending left some hope and possibility. A excellent poem.
