Why Me?

Why can't I be

One of the lucky ones?

Why was I sexually abused?

And broken beyond repair

For years on end?

Why was I used

And thrown away just like

The paper plate your pizza grease has stained?

Why was I born into this world

So full of hate and deceit?

Why me?

Why was I born into a family

Who never even wanted me 

In the first place?

Why did everyone turn their backs

When all I needed was a friend?

Why does everyone find it

So easy to leave

When times get hard?

Why can't I be

One of the lucky ones?

Why me?
