Helpless
To struggle and to learn
People despised life as hatred
Yet lonely
Coming home scared and terrified
Wanting to run away from life
The road up ahead is scary
With no shoes to want
No jacket to wear
The value of life is conquered
No secrets
No pain
He hits her with fear
Tears fall like droplets
That smile is turned upside
Bearing the hurt her innocent love gives
Bearing the hunger she hasn't had for weeks
Her lifeless body gives no hope
She asked herself
" Is this worth it?"
As she took her last breath
Her fears traveled the pain
All around her body
She is helpless
