Her Life Poem by Shauntae Taylor

This is the story of a girl
When your done reading this you may want to hurl.

It all started when she was growing up
SHe didn't mind giving it up

She had her first boyfriend when she was in Pre-K
But that didn't stay.

She learned early on in life
that family means nothing

She also learned later on in life
Your problems won't go because of the knife
It only eases the pain in your life.

Because of the way she acted
She began to get raped and abused near and far

And in the beginning she hated what was being done
But as time went on she learned to love it.

SHe started to give head, where ever she went
From the roof to the back alley for a three some.

SHe got into prositution at the age of 16.

Her life began to spin out of control.

SHe gave head to a whole lot of guys in the 6th grade, and she didn't care.

She began to get verbally abused called every name in the book
And some not even in the book.

Her life started to get shattered
And eventually lost control of everything she had.

SHe live her life in fear and confusion
Her father beat her and her sisters up.

They fought day in and day out
It was sadd........

SHe wrote her guidance counselor and told her the things that were going on behind closes doors, but she didn't listen.

'Life will never get better she thought to herself.' And that was true it never did.

She began to hate herself. SO she turned to cutting herself and damaging her body.

SHe cut herself in science class
She was in trouble, but she only cared about getting the help and attention that she needed
But it never happenend.

Tired of being hurt by guys
she turned to females

But going from girl to girl things didn't change.
She gave up on love, she couldn't take being hurt anymore.

SHe moved on with her liive.
ANd met that guy who gave her butterflies
ANd the thought of his name made her smile.

They loved each other, they knew everything about each other
Their hopes, dreams, fears, high points, and low points.

They were made for each other
But no one could see, they didn't care

Time wen on and their love grew.
And so did the hater rage.

Then she met her bestfriend, as time moved
She later became her wife

She didn't think no one could love her for her
But she did, and their love for each other grew into somerthing greater.

And thats how it was and still is
They will spend the rest of their lives together

And no one can come between them
And thats that.

Even when she ran away both times, she was there
WHen she wanted to kill herself she was still there and she still is.

She is the only one who knows her deepest darkest secrets. ANd she still loves her inspite of everything.

She woke up one morning saying she was going to run away.

SHe tried to give her family the best life. A Life without her. But that wasn't good enough

WHen she leaves its only going to be her and her girl because thats all that she has left and that is what matters and makes sense in this messed up thing she calls 'Her Life......'
