Hope
Here lives a girl, whose life was out of
proportion.
Used to have a baby; but decided on an
abortion.
Her boyfriend just left her, told her it
was over.
Now the baby's gone, he's telling her how
much he loves her.
She only has a few relatives and not too
many friends.
Everyone else left her because they didn't
think her problems would ever end.
Her father dealt drugs, her mother is a
drunk.
Trying to get through life living in what
you'd call a dump.
Sitting up at late night with tears in her eyes.
Hoping for a better life while watching the
sun rise.
