For Lisa      (Autumns walking with someone else's toes challenge)

We had it tough as kids       
Me my friends       
But Lisa she may have been the strongest of the bunch       
but she was also the one with no fight       
Who could blame her?    
Mom and dad on heroin      
Most family members dying of AID's      
Never shed a tear for anyone      
never let anyone step a toe in her shoes    
       
She took it all without a fight      
The beatings for her moms mistakes       
Had burn marks all over her tiny frame      
Better her then her strung out mother      
      She'd say

Told us she had a seed growing from her daddies semen      
Took it for her baby sister       
now she is raising her own baby sister       
       
 Lives alone with her child       
Never speaks to anyone but her own voices       
Her mom and dad passed on      
Brother and sister moved far away      
Rest of the family six feet under       
Not even a headstone to leave a flower       
No grave to morn        
The only thing left of all her sacrifices  
Lies sleeping in the tiny room besides her    
     Her constant reminder
     
Thanks Steve Bragg . You're the best
