Memory Thunders

She's the girl with no friends, The one you made fun of for having split ends When she used her haircut money To buy something for her sonny Because she loves him with all her heart, Even if having him wasn't her favorite part. He wasn't even part of her plan, Just the result of some man Who thought it would be okay To take advantage of the poor girl in May. The man told her not to yell or run, That it was going to be fun. But as much as she kicked and screamed, She still ended up with crushed dreams. He broke her mind, Tore it in half. Now she's even scared of the kind; The caring people she could trust the most Have now just become ghosts In her past and she wonders Through all of the memory thunders When will she be alright again? She still cries every now and then. She just wants to be a normal kid But he did what he did. So instead she's the one with the stroller who gets Disapproving looks from unknowing mother without regrets Who made a big decision on their own When hers was more like a combat zone. She can't help who she is or what happened Even if it wasn't anything she could've imagined. Her life in now a wreck And nothing is in check But she smiles anyways Because the sun still sends down rays And she knows she will survive Now that the man is no longer alive.
