Sam's Life

by Alissa   Jun 24, 2005


Sam wasn't like the other kids she had to grow up quick
Because when she was 7 her mom got very sick
She couldn't, clean or take her to her friends
She couldn't take her shopping to follow the trends
Sam had to do homework and sick by her mothers side
And a year later her mother died
Sam knew she had to keep going she couldn't slow down
She knew no one would feel sorry for her if she had a frown
Her father was barley there always gone at the bar
He was so close but yet so far
When he was there he was usually drunk or mad
Hitting Sam beating her because he said she was bad
Sam turned 10 but already took care of herself
She was by herself no one would help
She walked home from school everyday and cooked her own food
Always praying that when her dad came home in a good mood
Sam was a straight A student but no one cared
The kids made fun of her for what she weared
She had the same clothes for over 2 years now
She needed to make money but didn't know how
Sam was walking home from school and some one pulled over
They told her to come here just a little closer
They grabbed Sam and took off to a dark place
Sam got raped now she really thinks life is a waste
The feelings and the picture never went away
She thought about that every single day
Sam is now 12 and living off dirt
She hated her dad he only made her hurt
Sam started selling her body it was all she could do
Making 20 dollars a night she did this till her stomach grew
Sam is 13 and about to have a new born baby
All that goes through her mind is I wish someone could of save me
Her dad was drunk another night and came home mad
The pregnancy went through his mind and gave Sam the worst beating she had
Sam woke up in the hospital just from a coma
Sam's life sucked she can't even get her High School diploma
The doctors came in and said your father killed you baby
Sam didn't understand it from her coma left her hazy
Her dad hit her so hard the baby just died
All Sam did for the next hours was cried
Sam got released from the hospital and went back home
Before you knew it Sam had her own tombstone
Sam continued to sell her body and ended up being killed
She never stopped because the pain in her left just would build
Sam was 14 it is so sad she died
But no one even helped no one even tried

*a little rocky with the rhyming or what not a pretty sad poem it isn't good but it makes you think how lucky you are*

    Yes, it does make you realize how lucky you are. Most of us already know this, but for those who don't this sends a great message. The poem itself was pretty good also. Nice Job.
