The Woman On Side the Road

The women That stand on side Of the highway daily, Winking, Hoping money will be found today. Your insecure jokes about her And her undiscovered life. Did you know, She was abused and raped Until she left home? Drugs and alcohol Were the only help She was ever introduced to? That baby she holds dearly To her breast Is a reminder Of her horrid incounter Everyday with her sex starved step father. Her cocaine stained eyes Glare over the busy Working Second class people She wishes she could fit into. But tonight, Is another nightmare So her daughter Does not starve. Why judge someone Who is trying to get by And not doing anything That is hurting anyone? This world is rough Without your rude insults, Don't make her scars deeper.
