A Child Without a Choice
Sadness in his eyes
Such pain in his little voice
Born into a life of horror
A child without a choice
Nowhere to run
No place to hide
Desperate measures
Just to survive
A life without nurturing
Love he’d never known at all
No-one ever saw him
Insignificant and small
A life without direction
Encouragement or praise
Addiction ravaged his being
He just wasted away
A child without a choice…!
