A word I used to describe my life with
A word that now has no power to me;
When life was hard I was devastated
Life was hard
Or at least that what I thought…

Until you kicked me out
Until the kids at school ere unkind and unfair
Until you left
Until my life started to fall apart

Then I realized
Life was easy
I was living the luxury
People who cared and a warm house to go to
I had no idea what devastation was
But now I do

I know what it's like to know know what's next
To be alone when you need someone most
To go home and not be wanted
I know what it's like now

Devastation
A word that I used when I shouldn't have
A word that now I know the real meaning of
A word that has described my life the past few months

The word that describes my poor mother's face
The look that I will never forget
Always connected to that word
Devastation
