On Her Own

Standing in the cold

She was only 15 years old

Looking at a house

She used to call home

Her life had changed

No matter the pain

She had to move on

He mom wasn’t there

Her dad so far away

She knew little of life

But had to make it work

Day to day

She pushed on

Hopeing it would change

But mom never called

Ans her dad couldn’t find her

She was too ashamed

She met a guy

And didn’t push away

For years

She endured

What no one should

Till the day

She said I can do it on my own

She packed up and left

Looking for her own

With pride

With everything she had

She was determined to find a new life

In the end

She had found herself

In a brand new light

With a smile

With a laugh

All things she thought she could never have
