Train Tracks

The girl saw herself as a loser
and wanted to be gone.
Gone beyond all life she lived.
She was with child and her parents
didn't know.

Her boyfriend didn't want to be a father
at his age.
She also didn't want to be a mother of
a broken home.
She thought she could hide from it all.
She tired to get rid of the child by forcing
herself to use drugs.

She tried to kill herself and the child, but
that didn't work.
So she thought she could put herself on the tracks
of death.
She laid there thinking the train would come.
Hours went bye and she gave up and went home.
She told her mom and dad that she was with child.

Her dad told her to leave and never come back.
So she went to the track again and this time the
train came.
Before her mom and dad got there her life was gone,
but the baby lived and was crying.
The mother and father left the baby there to die also.
