Proactive

sights set...
eyes locked...
sheets gripped...
bed rocked,
AAAHHH...door knocked
but damn it who could it be
on first look its all so apparent to me
its not so much of a friend or an enemy
just "someone" i would rather not see
my mind told me something was wrong
shoulda said stop, (when it didnt feel right to me)
but passions were flowing
& feelings were nice for me
but now I'm sitting here full of anxiety
for you see something has happened to me
because of my own stupidity, its not like i didn't know
i just chose not to cross my "T's" & dot my "I's"
now I'm in a situation where I'm forced to realize
how the consequences of my mistakes can be my demise
The looks on your faces tell me your kinda confused
but I'll fill in the blanks, because my captive audience I don't wanna lose
the full story is as follows:
stranger across the room...
sights set...
eyes locked...
sheets gripped... (missing link)
condom popped
aha what a bed rock
realization
now hearts racing, minds pacing
Rite Aid pharmacy, tryna buy a Plan B
do as the directions say
period is SUPPOSE to be here in a week
hoping and praying like never before
but three days after that week knees hit the floor
for God has not forsaken me and I feel that i can relax once more
Wake up in the middle of the night
to realize I've only closed one door
panic sets in and i cant get back to sleep
as soon as 9am hits i set out to meet
the doctor at the clinic up the street cause
I shoulda been tested for STD's last week
after two frantic weeks of waitin and anticipating all results are in
I'm in the clear for now but every three months for the next 2 years I have to check in
just to make sure there is nothing lying dormant from him
but see all this could have be avoided if i just used the knowledge from within
I already knew the "know how's" and i have no one to blame but me
so to prevent a situation such as the one I've portrayed 
here are three vital rules for you to take away
rule one: check the expiration date for yourself
rule two: make sure the packaging isn't tampered with as well
and rule three:  if all else fails carry your own
cause the responsibility of protecting yourself isn't placed on the  man alone
women its time to be proactive when it comes to your health
cause the contraction of STD's is killing off our community
and so many young girls are dealing with teenage pregnancies
because no one ever taught them that prevention was better than cure
see I gave you three rules now im gonna give you a challenge
to teach at least 3 young girls the rules of being proactive.
