What's the reason?

Justasimpleredhead Poems

You know that saying that everything happens for a reason? What’s the reason…. I was born a beautiful daughter Not knowing each day alive would be another struggle Left at a babysitters longer than expected Little tiny baby no longer protected Bounced around from town to town Biological parents no where to be found? Sick with illness, shadowed by fear Why is this poor child destined to be here? Skip ahead a few years Baby is now a toddler Pat and Lisa are mother and father Growing everyday Her faith getting a little stronger Don’t be fooled Her past did scar her She’ll find this out later From toddler to teen Slipping deeper into trouble Pre-K all the way up through Smart as hell Yet, fall behind Defiant, rebellious, stubborn Outsiders say oh she’s a typical teen They don’t know she’s out of control So lost, no where to go Ups and downs Can’t believe the little she’s told She won’t reach out for a hand to hold What’s ahead? Nobody knows Teen to adult Avoiding the cult Will she make it? What about her past How will she take it? Can she bury it fast? Might the truth Ultimately scar her?
