Standing Strong

What is love and what is lust
A typicall question that gets asked often
Growing up in a home where there is no love
No one understands her struggle
They don't feel her pain
But she still standing strong strong

Her mother is a drunk
And her father is an addict
Not giving her any attention
Only caring about themselves and not supporting her
She has to provide for herself
But she still stands strong

She feels unsafe and shes crying for help
But no one is out to listen
She thought school would be her only escape
Until she was bullied and raped
She's doesnt know what to do or who to go to
But she still stands strong

Months have passed and her mother was arrested
Her father gave up on her and put her in a foster home
She wanted to end it all, until she found out she was three months pregnant
No one wanted to take her in because of her situation
And it was her senior year at school
She didnt know how she would do this on her own
But she still stood strong

She's graduated highschool and got accepted to a UC
Now she raising her baby and attending school
She thought no one cared about her
She's grateful for her son, and she's becoming a women
She found a job and an appartment
When everything fell down for her
She still stood strong
