A long way out

People say i've have'nt been through anything.

I look a them and say how do you know what iv'e been through

Do you wake up every morning and go down staris and see your mother

not there. And know that she has not been home in two weeks.

Have you ever walked in the kitchen and open the fridge an there only

a bottle of ketchup sitting on the shelfs. Have you ever had to lie to your little sister

when she ask "where mommy"  and you have to say she's at work, but you know that one

day you will have to tell her she's never coming home. Have you ever had to sell your body to

get little money to pay the rent. Tough things happen to weak people to make them stronger

don't look at someone and say "you hav'nt went through anything yet" and you don't even know

what they been through. Everything is not pitchy and clean, people have to do crazy things to survive in this world.
