The Simple Life

A simple little life
Suddenly thrown off track
As an unfortunate series of events
Shatter a young girls world

A sister that's always been there
Has now become vulnerable
While the monster inside her
Begins winning the battle

All this young woman wants
Is a mothers loving touch
Distance does nothing
But tear her world apart

How could a mother
Abandon her young children
Thinking about nothing
But her selfish, lonely self

They say the grass is greener
But always keep in mind
While one person sees the light
The rest are left in darkness

A fifteen year old
Going through troubles
No one should ever go through
In their entire lifetime

Life is way too precious
To ever worry about the world
But when the stitching is getting ripped out
All you can do is bleed

    I can fully understand whee your coming from, and your right nobody should ever have to go through this type of life. My mom emancipated me at 15 and I got married, so my stepdad couldn't rape me anymore. Just do the exact opposite of what you seen, it was easy for me, for it was so traumatic, I couldn't imagine putting my kids through it.Your poem expresses that love needed by a mom, but you did not recieve that.Brandy3
