Graffitied youth
Location
So her body is a ghetto,
Society couldn't handle.
She was left to suffer,
Bite her tongue and sleep
With one eye open and a closed heart.
An eye sore
And tender to the heart.
You refuse to help, You just wanted to change her.
Bearing down on her back you pushed her down again
But she picks herself up and regains her strength.
A glimmer of hope
You took away
She can't get out unharmed.
Unprotected by her thoughts
She sought comfort through the dark,
the ugly.
She finds comfort behind the blades
Behind the shadows of her past
You told her she wasn’t good enough.
So her body is a ghetto
And her skin is graffitied.
Her heart is blackened
Her mind distraught
When you told her
She had nothing to live for,
She took the hint and lived for nothing
So her body is a ghetto
Rotten from lack of love
Uncared for she took the advice and now ..
Her body is a corpse
Because to you
She was just another graffitied youth.
