Life Today Poem by Ashley Kelly

All Them Kids Crying
People Defying
Each Other
Kids Lying to Thier Mothers
And Fathers; Parents Drinking
As Teens Are Thinking
Of Suicide, Death, And Homocide
We Also Have Pedofiles
I.M.ing Teens Lying About Thier Ages
What's Going On These Days
We Have Abuse, Rape, And Harassment
I Thought Life Ment
Something to Life Livers
Thinking of How Life Is Now Give Me The Quivers
People Doing Drugs
All They Need Are Reinforcing Hugs
To Know Someone Does Care
Love n Caring Is Something Life Can't Bare
Teens Drinking And Smoking
You Hear Them On The Street Choking
We Know We Done Wrong
But We Need To Get The Wrong to Be Gone
I Want To Change How Life Is Now
But All I Need o Know Is How
I Know I Lived In Despair
Only Because I Had No One There
People Just Need A Hand
To Know They Can
Make It Through
There Isn't A Thing
We Will Go Farther
Just Try Harder
Can't You See
People Want To Be
A Good Friend
I Will Make A Difference
Because I Can
