Struggling To Make A Change
My world is turned upside down.
I’m lost and broken, I doubt I’ll ever be found.
My heart seeps with hatred, I’m filled with a yearning for revenge.
A painful past to paint my future.
I feel so alone…don’t have a family…no such thing as home…
I wander in search of something better, even a temporary shelter.
The streets are so dark and cold, it sends chills straight to my bones.
I never find any comfort, always left just lying on the stone.
I just cry myself to sleep, it’s now a luxury to breathe.
My memories are all tainted, they haunt me as I sleep.
I just sit here and beg strangers for something to eat.
I walk by all the fancy homes, trying to imagine life not all alone.
I always think about my childhood, I was just a child misunderstood.
Now I scavenge through the streets,
thinking about what might happen to me.
Maybe if I went to school and made some friends, they could’ve shown me the good in life.
I could’ve been successful, maybe a doctor or a lawyer or even better; a caring loving mom.
Someone who was married to a man who loved his job.
I could’ve been happy as we raised our kids to know right from wrong.
I could watch as they played games, cherishing their smiling face…
I look at my life now…it’s just a joke sent up straight from hell.
I pray that one day things will change, because I know I can’t go on this way.
