Alone and Scared
I was only 16
When I had to sell myself
To feed my kid
Now people hate me
For what I did
They don’t understand
There were no jobs
Not at the age of 16
I prayed oh my God
I didn’t know what to do
I woke up with no self respect
I was dyeing inside
I found myself
Always wanting to hide
I was ashamed
I always cried
No matter what I did
And what I was dealt
I had to do the impossible
And Forgive Myself
