Exert from Shariya's Story
As I sit in my room feeling lost and confused,
I think to myself "Shariya, girl you've been used."
You tried to get out and do things on your own,
Leaving Momma's house like you thought you
were grown.
Jumping from house to house trying to get along,
Now you're a babysitter, trying to stand strong.
Life's not fair, as you can plainly see,
But shit, how else did you expect it to be?
You've got to do better girl, believe in yourself,
And before you know it, you'll be enjoying
the wealth.
Keep your head up and pray, you know God is
right there,
He'll never leave you lonely, He will always care.
