Taken Away
Taken away
My hopes and dreams
My happiness
Not what it seems
No thought of family
Lifes so unfair
The pain and torment
I can hardly bear.
So unforgiving
Teens can be
Whispered comments
That I still see
Depression sets in
My lifes a mess
Friends I once had
Think of me less
Fighting and yelling
I close my ears
The salty taste
Of my tears
Turning to violence
My mother battered
I run away
As if it mattered
No future no college
No boyfriends in tow
I make my own way
I reap what I sew
Seems so unfair
That a life so blessed
Winds up in limbo
Sad and depressed
What could have been
What should have been
Had my life been different
Educated, Insightful, a leader of men
