footsteps

a young girl

whose lost &confused

livin in the dope world

just trying ta survive

her next move she never knows

her life nothing more than a guessing game

parents who dont know whether she's dead or alive

another hit means

another minutes of fake happiness it brings

her front is what keeps her alive

the many different faces eachnight

pays her many dues

still a child her self

livin the life a grown women shouldn even have ta live

the struggles in the world

weighin heavy on her shoulders

hated by many

liked by one

her life a disgrace

her death a blessing

forgotten by hundreds

remembered by one

a child who will live in her mother's fading footsteps
