Consequences of Life

The author has placed a warning on this post for sexual content.

A rape baby born can never really smile

Her orgin story given changes her lifestyle

She fights the cliche woe is me

But never moves past to what she was meant to be

The love she's due is never given

And the lack of it all causes her to be riven

You all sit in your office and argue your stances

You sit in your churches and give side glances

But we are the people born from the trauma

We are the ones who lack a mama

So your values and morals may be your own

But you're not the one that's stuck alone

The Bible says this and the Quran says that

But neither knows the feeling of being swatted like a gnat

And in the end we all grow up

Depression has won overfilling our cup

"Just get up and start the day"

"You'll never get better if you don't learn to pray"

The words slide so easily from their lips

And they really believe their helpful tips

So we take them with a smile

Never feeling were actually worthwhile
