Sarah
All of her life she was teased
said she'd never amount to anything
and she should just leave
at the age of thirteen she was all alone
no one ever cared about her
and she had no home
She walked down the empty streets
thats how she found drugs
the people there excepted her
they even gave her hugs
she didn't think they'd hurt her
they were her only friends
but she did whatever they told her
she never stood a chance
By the time she turned sixteen
she was hooked on sex and drugs
people said they cared about her
but it wasn't love
Every night she'd come home late
Drugged up and abused
But since this was her way of life
She didn't know that she'd been used
She soon grew to hate herself
and every day she'd lived
she was jealous of families
the ones that loved their kids
She realized then
this wasn't a life
and while her pimp was gone
she found a knife
She knew what she had to do
if she went fast it would be over soon
She woke up in a hospital
in pain, but still alive
she looked around in agony
why hadn't she died?
there she saw a man
sitting by her side
She realized at that moment
that he had saved her life
Once she had recovered
and was clean from drugs
she set out to find the man
and they soon fell in love
the knife had actually saved her
it killed her pain inside
she knew it was a second chance
she could have a better life
They married when she turned nineteen
the happiest couple you've ever seen
it made her sad to see the girls
living on the streets
it made her mad, they didn't know
that they could be free
And with her husband helping her
she soon set up a place
where abused women could go
to help them fix their life
she helped them all one by one
try to change their lives
It was too late for some of them
but she knew she tried
at least they had a place to turn
when the lesson came they had to learn
She was strong and happy now
glad to be alive
but she thanked God every night
that her old self had died
back
home
