SHE...
At a young age she felt trapped
like an animal in a cage
afraid to speak up, because she might get slapped
not physically but verbally
by the words her mother gave
she held in her tears
pain, anger and fears
all inside for many, many years
everyone thought she was happy
everyone thought she was good
but in reality she felt trapped
like a white person in a hood
afraid to let anyone know
but if they just paid attention it surly did show
showed how felt
she watched fairy tail princess movies all day
hoping that their happiness would take some of her sadness away
no one never knew what was going on in her mind
she had thoughts of death all the time
not that she wanted to die she just wanted to escape
and death seemed like the easiest way
but she didn't kill herself she kept on living
oh, i guess this is the part of the story where you think things get great
nope not at all
she just gets a little bit older
and her heart gets colder and colder
she been in and out of love over and over
she don't even know what love is anymore
her heart stays broken and her eyes stay sore
store from all the tears they shed
she lay up at night in her bed
searching for answers to questions she always had
like...
"why don't anyone love me?"
"How ugly can i really be?"
"Why cant i have a bestferiend?"
"why cant i find someone who understand?"
sick of searching for answers she knew she would never find
she was slowly and painfully loosing her mind
she got involved with a boy
and he misused her
abused her and constantly used her
she wanted it all to end
she ran back to her parents for advice
which was probably the dummist thing she ever done in her life
her mother, no help at all
strung out on so many drugs i cant even recall
her father, saw how fully grown she had become
and no longer looked at her as a daughter or a son
he saw her as a woman he had his eyes on
he held her down and raped her
she fought and screamed for her mother to come save her
but no
her mother was gone off so many types of drugs and alcohol
she didn't think her life could get any worse
until 8 months later she was giving birth
to her brother and son
how hard do you think it is to tell your child i'm your sister and mom?
she didn't abort him
but she raised him
and she praised him
and she thanked him for giving her joy
not joy that a little kid get from receiving a new toy
but joy that made her life change
she felt she finally had the chance to make a change
in her sons life
