Disposable Girl

Her parents abused her, then threw her away.
Sixteen foster homes wouldn't let her stay.
No place where she belonged could be found.
No home for the girl no one wanted around.

Her siblings would eventually disown her too.
She never existed as far as they knew.
Her friends were all users who would all go.
When to them she finally learned to say NO!

The men would use her for money or sex.
Then as quick as they came they moved onto the next.
Or with no reason at all they would disappear one day.
An I'm cheating on you their goodbye text would say.

No one person in her life would stay.
Either they would run, disappear or throw her away.
At the end she was left all alone in this world.
Because to everyone she was just the disposable girl.

This one rips your heart out, Athena. I am certain it happens more than we woild like to admit as a society. My first suggestion would be to look for God but to a girl like that, she has probably already given up on God. She doesn't know it yet but he hasn't given up on her:) and I am not a religious person, per se.
