ON THE STREET
Barely a woman but already
out on the street
trying to make money for her
own needs to meet
Her heavy make.up making
her look older than her years,
as she tries to hide her tears
and young fears as she stands
on each cold street corner waiting
for her next trick to come along
Hoping that perhaps he will be
kind to her and do her no
wrong
Barely out of childhood,
Struggling just to live,
Wanting to know how to
love the proper way and how
to give
She walks the streets days
and nights, praying her small
dreams will come true
And wishing she lived a life
like me or you
