It Started Off As Fun

It all started as fun like it usually does Back when she was a great girl who'd always been beautifully loved Way back before she'd been brutally touched She goes out weekly and has a few drink like most teens She doesn't let boys get close, only in their dreams She goes to university to try and make her future career better One day she gives in to peer pressure She's scared when alone, but they don't feel Fear together Her friends pressure her into popping pills Now the world is not as real She's feels high but low at the same time Trying to think, but is struggling with her mind She leaves the bar with a strange guy, who spoke kind words There's no harm in a little flirt Is what her friends say, but that night he gets her out of her skirt Takes her home, but never calls back Her whole confidence, begins to fall flat Now she's doing lines of cocaine almost daily Her and her friends haven't spoke lately She's going off the rails, her friends should be keeping her on track This is when her whole world starts to turn black She used to say she'd only give a chance to a man who treats her But her new man, disrespects and beats her She knows her time is coming, she doesn't have long left She keeps taking the wrong steps Her dreams are broken and faith's lost Her teeth are rotting and she's had a severe weight loss We all know how enjoyable sex is But she doesn't enjoy it, she's sleeping around for her next fix As long as she gets the drugs she doesn't care about being respected She's happy to continue destroying the beauty she was blessed with There's places she doesn't want to visit on her next trip She's not into small talk or sharing the facts She's just doing what she can, for her next heroin bag Her man beats her worse than before, because he finds out she has aids No new beginning No happy ending No chance of winning She's almost at the end of the chapter on her page She's never been suicidal But she's been caught in a vicious cycle She grabs the knife and cuts until she bleeds Tears in her eyes, right before her heart no longer beats I wrote this based off the world we live in, so this girl doesn't exist But there are plenty of true stories just like this I wish this had a happy ending, because this girl was meant to set the world alight But it's a sad story of how drugs ruined a girls life
