Her Life Poem by Janice M Pickett

Her Life



From her seat there beside
the dock
she shuddered at the memory
of a time gone by
One that had taken place
in this very spot
a few short years ago

She had grown up in foster care
And now so many years later
she was down and lost and alone
for they had taken away
her two children from her
drug filled home

She had wandered the streets
for hours
needing an urgent fix
until at last she fell asleep
for booze and pills don't mix

He came along with craving
of some sexual satisfaction
and found her lying there asleep
so decided on some action

She woke in horror as he took his
lust to heights of satisfaction
she was too stoned to resist
and so she succumbed with little reaction

He ran away now frightened
for the sun was starting to rise
He didn't want to remember
that look that was in her eyes
