Theres no second chances
We need to reach them now,
Cant let Gods children bypass us
We need to show them how,
Cant let the fear harass us
The lost need to be found.
Cuz theres no second chances;
No second chances.
A distrought boy all alone in his room
covered in his own blood
hoping death will take him soon,
he'll never become a father,
he'll never be a groom,
all his life he looked for sunshine,
all he could grasp was gloom.
A beautiful girl stares at her reflection in the mirror,
hiding a terrible secret,
too shocked to shed a tear,
baggy clothes hid her growing belly from her family and her peers,
but nothing could take away her desperation and her fear,
she swallows a fatal amount of pills,
Washes it all down with some beer,
tomorrow might have been better,
now tomorrow she won't be here.
A teenage soldier raised by his hood,
never went to school the junkies paid him too good,
as homies kept dropping death he misunderstood,
The question would you die for your pride,
he knew he could and he would
The big homie got him started on that methanphedamine
Hittin that peezo saying “homie you been such a friend to me”
6 months later that youngin aint nothing but a feen
Overdosed now hes a ghost hood life is all but heavenly.
A mentally deranged man making a noose inside his cell,
his crimes were against children,
The guilt was a living hell,
As he swung from the ceiling beam
Memories of being raped at 12.
He closed his eyes and cried
Searching for a peaceful place to dwell.
A woman staring sadly at her feet
Cuz she needs new clothes and shoes
shes been living on the streets
Cuz at home she was always bruised
Husband called her a whore
And how ironic was the news
She became what he said
Headline ‘found dead prostitute’
Stressing out and on one
Was the man at the bar,
As he left he looked so solemn
Getting slowly into his car,
Drug consumption was the assumption
To why he nodded out so hard
Ran himself up off the road
Death from emotional scars.

Love the last line!
I like the way you also put in a lot of different people perceptions into the poem.
Strong emotion which is described nicely. Its not 2 overpowering but its enough to get the point across.
And again i'll say... Love the last line.
