It Gets Better
Bleached out hair and thrift store jeans
 Always outside the box
 Never a beauty queen
 Sometimes things are never what they seem
 Motorcycle boots and leather jackets in her dreams
 Studded loafers and expensive perfume
 Messy bed and messy room
 Only child with two dads to care
 Always loved, but never there
 Ran away at 16
 Got married to a guy
 He beat her to stay with him
 And never to him she lied
 She was always good
 But never had she known
 That one day she would leave
  and her dads would be waiting at home
 lived in a world where she never stood a chance
 ran away from her problems
 she grew up too fast
 never had she known what others thought
 or even where to live
 never planned a future or even thought ahead
 now she knows what she missed
 when she was just 16
 living life is impossible when you’re caught up in your dreams.
