(3/28/13) <br />You was out on the streets at such a young age <br />Because of what you went through, you felt so ashamed <br />You ask yourself: “was it something that I had done? ” <br />“Did I hurt anyone? “ <br /> Why I was physically and sexually abused at such a young age? <br />Is this an adult stage? <br />So many questions going through your mind <br />Keeping you thinking all the time. <br />Who can I turn to? Where can I go? Will it ever change? I don’t know! <br />My heart and mind are bursting to be free, and it is something I do foresee! <br />Living in the streets with predators all around – no safe place can be found. <br />Pimps and human traffickers are waiting on the streets <br />Offering them shelter and something to eat. <br />Taking advantage of the situation they’re in <br />And knowing fully that they will win. <br />Hunger and fear rule their minds, to the point that they become blind. <br />This is the advantage point that these predators need <br />And on their weaknesses they do feed. <br />You ran away from home because of the abuse and pain <br />To find out on the streets it’s still the same. <br />Thoughts and realizations are in your mind <br />And to be free will take time. <br />But with determination you move ahead <br />And your fears you can put to bed. <br />You must now help the others by showing them the way <br />Cause on the streets they cannot stay. <br /> <br />© L.RAMS<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thoughts-of-a-homeless-teen/
