Just Like the Others
" Just Like The Others "
They found her near the rivers bank
as the sun rose in the mornings rain
her body beaten and bloody with no clothes
her precious life went down the drain.
This young girl was such an angel
her feathers ripped from off her wing
they found her broken golden halo
as the church bells softly ring.
She was a families special daughter
her loving heart was full of glee
her childhood was love and laughter
she had a closeknit family.
Soon she faced her teenage years
Just Like The Others can't you see
they all had some fun with alcohol
which led to speed and ecstasy.
All teens will bow to peer pressures
she tried these things onto the next
and of course she had no creed
not until she boast of sex.
Sliding down further a twisted spiral
sadly another young wasted life
drinks, drugs and sex will take their toll
a young childs life is full of strife.
Many bad things done to fuel her habit
had caused her to lose her self control
to feed her cravings and ease the pain
this young girl has sold her soul.
She is so young and just turned twenty one
the last few years have not been kind
her pride and beauty is now all gone
the drinks and drugs have destroyed her mind.
Now she has taken to using needles
this young girl has fully given in
no more speed nor ecstasy
she is using heroin.
This young girl now street parades
in high heels and real short skirts
gaining her money for her drugs
and she is treated just like dirt.
Now there is no longer any help for her
she has thrown it all away
trying bad things unto the next
soon with her life she will pay.
Its sad to think we all have failed her
by ignoring all of the destructive signs
because we always let this happen
repeated again time after time.
We blame the media and this age
by branding the young folks all the same
citing the drugs and a drunken binge
its sad we never take the blame.
These precious youngs ones are our kids
why have we let them all fall down?
Were we too busy not to see?
To watch them flounder and slowly drown.
Yes, they found her near the rivers bank
as the sun rose in the mornings rain
her body beaten and bloody with no clothes
her precious life went down the drain...
