Smokeless

One down nineteen to go.
The smoke begins to occupy the lonely room,
yet she remains smokeless.
She dared to say yes.
Now her only wish was to have said no.
Deserted by a false warrior,
she is left with the burden.
Renamed by society,
a member of a pitied stereotype.
Betrayed by friends turned strangers.
Nineteen down one to go,
the smoke invades
yet she remains smokeless.

Written in high school about teenage pregnancy. The minds eye held a picture of a strong, stubborn girl unaffected by the smoke around her. Unfortunately that is not always the case with teenage pregnancies.
