Life Story # 10
She sits in the near by park every day
Quietly watching the children play
She seems so happy and yet at the same time
There seems to be something on her mind
As though laughing and crying, living and dying
Peace and destruction are honestly lying
What is the story, what is the tale
That binds her in a living hell
Those thoughts the haunt her dreams at night
That thing she did that never sat right
Did you know she had a child, well she almost did
But someone thought that she shouldn't have a kid
Although she dreamed she would someday be
The greatest mother the world would ever see
She saved herself, at least she tried
For the day she'd walk the isle with pride
Until one night while mother was away
Her step-father drank self control away
He took the one thing truly hers to give
And replaced it with a terrible way to live
That was the worst day of the next 9 years
Cloaked in shame, and soaked in tears
Until the day she had began to show
That which he did not want mother to now
Just when she thought he had taken everything away
More than one life was lost that day
One robbed of the chance to live
The other robbed of more life to give
Convinced of guilt she never said a word
And so her story was never heard
If she had come to confide you
What would you have had her do
