Drop Out

She made the mistake 
She left her dreams behind
Her father gone 
Her mother lost in her own world
Baby brother became her own
Partime worker 
Age 16
She started to pray day and night 
When things just didn't turn out right
Hoping a guardian angel would stop by
The day came sooner than she thought 
Hope can alive
She walked on that stage 
She sang her heart away
It was never a mistake 
She would have never made it to this stage

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
