Street kid

by ronnie   Mar 31, 2010


You say your life sucks because your dont do good in school
She says her life sucks because she never went to school
You say you are depressed because your boyfriend dumped you
She says she is depressed because her boyfriend hits her
You say that your mad because your mom wont let you go out
She says she is mad because she never had a mom
You say your going to go shopping
She says she is going to wonder the steets
You say that you are going to go home because its cold
She says she has no home when its cold
You grow up sheltered and happy
She grows up with addiction and violence
You get older and go to college
While she is just another street kid

    I really really love this poem. So beautiful and so sad but every word of it is true. I guess you don't appreciate the things you have ~ Liz ~

    I just read this and was amazed because it's so true. It's true, it's reality and it's sad. I read it to my dad and he loved it as well. He said that it needs to be a song. But anyways, I think you are very talented and this poem speaks volumes. Wow. Just wow. Keep writing.
    love,
