Why I Write?


I write to express my pain. My disappointment that has no gain. Parents that were insane or incoherent I was abandoned for a frame of time. That didn't make me weak or whine. I am strong to say that I'm sane And ready to play life's game I got stuck with someone mental deranged In turn to be in range for danger We grow up with no money or healthy food I write to tell my story Of a girl that had the courage To throw up her hand to the rage I write to show understanding That no matter how bad life get to stay positive I write to say I'm in a better safe place No not heaven but a loving home of my own. Thanks to God that gave the girl the courage to tell her story
