On The Cliff's Edge

Full of thoughts Sitting on a broken dream A heart full of despair And a bucket full of tears She has a lot on her plate Life is too hostile for her She paid a heavy price An unwanted pregnancy Her tender age pronounced On her soft uninhabited skin She is too young to be a mother Not ready to be a school dropout She has to face her peers With shame all over her face She has to carry her dreams As a broken piece of fantasy She is not here by mistake Lured by her rich handsome uncle She left her virginity at the age of 12 Wallowing in a bed of roses For a while life was fun Enveloped by expensive gifts She couldn't ask for more She thought all was well She never knew pain She has never encountered loss Her dreams were ever shining Her sweet life was flowing She made a deal with the devil She sold her innocent soul The mystique old lover tantalized her She broke all the rules That fateful day came unexpected Through the misty veil of the morning sky She saw her dreams break down She saw the glow of her life dim She was pregnant at a tender age of 14 Her lover was no where to be found Her peers were sharpening their dreams in school She was all alone and lost
