Poem
Shanelle is 15 years old and goes to school as often as she can
She's popular at school and is expected to do well on her exams
Her smile covers 100 scars and tragedies she's had to embrace
Her friends have no idea of what tragedies she's had to face 
She's always beaming and full of life
Her eyes glisten and her smile shines bright
All of the boys are interested because she wears revealing clothes
She's mainly interested in the ones who are dealing dope
They provide a comfort, no one knows that she's feeling broke
Her mother is a heroin addict and her father abuses her
She smiles for the world but nothing amuses her
She is forced to sleep with drug dealers so she can feed her mothers habit
The dealers just see Shanelle as another addict
She goes home with the heroin and her dad does unspeakable things to her that no child should go through
He covers it up, by saying "I love you, let me show you"
She tries to fight him off every time but he's just too strong for her
She closes her eyes and dreams of better times when there's no hurt
She's never felt love and wonders what that feeling is like
She's not able to live, her parents are stealing her life
She wears make up, and smiles brightly that's her favourite costume
She plays Brenda's got a baby by Tupac and Runaway love by Ludacris at full volume
She's falling behind with her school work because of all of this
Her teachers notice a significant  change and look at all the days she missed
They call her into speak but she just says she's poorly
Because she'll get beat if she says my parents aren't there for me
She goes home that night and begins to write a suicide note
Tells her parents how she hates them as they didn't provide hope
Never made her feel loved, she had no one and that's why she had to end it
Her heart had been broken from the first time her dad abused her and nothing could mend it
Now she's hanging in the air, after such a tragic story this was her only way to find peace
Damn, I just had to wipe a tear off my cheek
I wrote this based on things that happen, it's not a true story that I had to tell
But it breaks my heart, Because I've heard a lot of stories like Shanelle's
