Too Young For This

You were innocent sweet and young With a life that just begun Years of friends, learning and dreams Every minute always seemed To be filled with something new Fun. laughter, happiness too Your life's path was going well Until something bad befell On your world to make you lose Control, now your paying dues Of decisions that were filled When you saw your parents killed By a stranger who just took A knife as your scared eyes looked Seeing the most horrid sight The death of your parents that night Your head spun and didn't know Where to run or where to go So you let yourself be driven Into a world you shouldn't live in Everyday just being used By those who like to abuse Young people who can't survive With the pain brought in their lives Relying on the help of strangers Too fragile to know the dangers Of the lies they hear each day By offenders that just prey Looking for lost lonely souls Who can't make it on their own
