Statistic
I as a young lady made a promise to myself
Being pregnant at 16
IS NOT ME
Dropping out of school
IS NOT ME
Becoming an alcoholic
IS NOT ME
Becoming something
NOW THAT’S ME
Being a statistic, it’s like you’re a number
And you deteriorate from the world
I don’t know about you
But being a statistic
IS NOT ME
— Brishae, age 14
