Bitter Pills

Poor innocent girl so gentle and true
came into this world full of hope and value.
Relying on others for knowledge and rule
The girl trusted her elders and listened at school.

She strived for distinction and studied for worth
but found only frustration on this dishonest earth.
Losing battle for triumph she slowly declined,
leaving the girl with only what fate had defined.

Poor innocent girl what had she done wrong?
She’d played by the rules but she didn’t belong.
So she ran from salvation and followed regret
but poor innocent girl, bitter pills she would get.

On the streets the girl wandered searching only one of her many selfs
but distress she would find on life’s lonely bookshelf.
The girl longed for companion in the darkness of night
and companion she found in a dark alley fight.

As she tussled with judgment she reached for the knife
fighting destiny’s stab for the end of her life.
Not a victim was the girl with anger and hate
she took hold of the blade that determined her fate.

Poor innocent girl so gentle and true
came into this world full of hope and value.
She fought for her life with a valiant hand
but now the girl and the others live in eternal dreamland.
