Little Runaway


She walks the streets
on a cold, windy night
she is by herself,
she had runaway from home.

Her parents always fought
she couldn't handle
the sorrow anymore,
she decided to get out.

The little runaway
is barely in her teens,
she only has the
clothes on her back.

She searches through dumpsters
to find something to eat,
tears roll down her cheeks
when she thinks
of her parents arguing.

She was an only child
and always thought
her parents were happy,
she was wrong.

She couldn't go back
to what she had left behind....
