Life is Never Fair

by Lyla   Dec 6, 2005


A little girl was born one day
To parents who didn't care
So there is where she had to stay
Life is never fair

A little girl was neglected one night
Something she could hardly bare
But she didn't want to start a fight
Life is never fair

A young girl got yelled at all the time
"You stupid brat! Think anyone cares?"
Their words were never kind
Life is never fair

A young girl always tried her best
In the future she wanted to run for mayor
But they said she wouldn't pass the test
Life is never fair

A teen girl hated her life
But to say something she didn't dare
So instead she turned to a knife
Life is never fair

A teen girl was tormented all the time
"Why are you here? Your a waste of air!'
"Leave me alone now you've crossed the line"
Life is never fair

A young woman was beaten and used
"You make me do this, aren't you aware?"
"I know I'm the reason I'm black and bruised"
Life is never fair

A young woman looked at the story of her life
Knowing it wasn't rare
She ended years of suffering with a knife
Life is never fair

    Great job, I'd like it better if you changed each last line so it's not repetitive.

    Bad ending, in my opinion.. The rest of your poem was so poignant and effective, I hate to read such a common and cliche ending of suicide. Surely with the quality and emoption of the rest of the poem you can wrap it up more originally and poetic..

    A young girl got yelled at all the time

    'Got' should be changed to 'was.' Even in the preceding stanza do you use 'was,' which is the correct usage.. Anyway.. good poem, a lot of emotion in it. keep it up =O) 5/5
