The Struggle To Survive

At the age of 15 you left me alone
Didn't come back, you abundant me at home
I looked out my window and cried each night
As I slept in the darkness without a peck of light
No food in the refrigerator and nothing to eat
The only way to survive was off the streets
I found a job that would only provide for bills
Still getting weak from starvation of no meals
Then god dropped a gift and sent me a man
Who tries to put food on the table, and does all he can
Now I have a child at the age of 17
Trying to survive with a man who's living as a dope-phine
It gets harder each day and all I want to know is why
You left me heart aching, almost at the point to die
I have no life and have to take care of my kid
Did ya ll realize what ya ll did to me, did y'all realize what y'all did??
I sit here and wonder each day are ya ll alive or dead
I can't take it no more all this shit going through my head
So forget about the life you spent with me for 15 years
This is my first and last good-bye, I will erase away all my tears
If this letter ever reach you before I die, just know one thing
Only God knows why????
