Thinking of ending my life......to be free

Thinking of ending my life......to be free
Posted By: SHANEEQUA LEE on February 20, 2006






Walking the streets sheddin blood and sheddin tears
As I lay on my back I can feel the tears hit my ears
Asking strangers on the street if they have change to spare
Thinking of ending this life that I constantly live in fear

Thinking of my life and finally being free
Or is this hell I’m living called in reality
Thinking of my life back when I was a little girl
I never thought of all the people that would escape my world
Thinking of all the lost teenage souls that are now history
And how mothers are forced to take it as another unsolved mystery’
No justice served and a steady conscience burning each day
Wondering why it’s not safe for your youngins to play
Parents neglect their children and tell hem to get out their face
And if they try to join the conversation they’ll tell them to stay in a kids place
Poor school systems with kids failing each day
Parents with no high school education that cant show them the way
No good examples or parents that went college
No one to sit them down and really pass them the knowledge
With nothing but street smarts we don’t know what to do
But with no action taken on that last murders how do you expect us to get the clue!
