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.
