Amy's Song

She cries in the morning,

Uncontrollably, and without warning.

Like an animal in a tiny cage,

She has no answer for her violent rage.

She wants no handouts, but cheats and steals.

Hiding away the pain she feels

She walks the streets and looks around.

Scanning and searching on the ground

For pocket change we throw away

But it will help her through her day

Living live from fix to fix

Earning smack for turning tricks.

“Just one more shot and then I quit.”

But she really can’t live up to it.

She sits and she straps her arm

These track mark mean more pain than harm

Eager with a childish grin

Burning dope inside a tin.

Her high comes almost with no warning

But still she cries in the morning.
