Dorothy

~Poem~

#DOROTHY

Dorothy was a young pretty girl
To her parents, she was more valuable than a pearl
The only child to her parents
Very respectful and innocent
Most beautiful but very decent 
The most brilliant among her friends
She was never left to starve 
She had the best education she could ever have
She never played with her religious life
She was trained by her parents to be a perfect wife

Dorothy lost her dad in a motor accident
After the funeral they had relocate to a new vicinity 
Dorothy was then left to struggle with a single parent 
Sweet things turned sour 
Life wasn't as fun as before
Dorothy had to depend on friends for funds 
The unexpected had just begun 
Her mother advised her but she wouldn't listen
Uncontrollable tears became her pastime 
A great woman has fallen 
Her books became her enemies 
She was introduced to the wrong strategies 

Dorothy left home and never returned 
She started living a life her parents would have never  preferred
She knew all the alcoholic brands
She perfected in all the club girl dance 
She smoked weed till her eyes bled
She wasn't shy but ready to  free herself 
Unprotected sex was her hobby 
Involved in all the bad things that seemed nasty
Her friends encouraged her
Her boyfriend deceived her
Police cells became her second home
There were times she actually missed home
Gone are the days when she was a princess 
Her life became unstable like a game of chess
She kept her pride aside
And tried committing suicide
Death was her last hope
She could have tried to cope
Her friends ignored her in her worse time
She was left all alone this time
Dorothy hanged her self in her room
She was saved by a friend 
She went back home as a changed person
She started life all over again…

The End..
