Is There A Reason

There's a deep fear I've held deep inside for awhile
I never knew this game of life could be so vile
When I was 16 and homeless them was some awful days
But maybe it was payment for my awful ways
Can you imagine eating out of trash cans to get some food
And people always got the nerve to ask why I'm not the mood
Did you ever have to go through that when you were 16
Living on the streets like a true crack fiend
Can't imagine how I felt
Parents didn't wanna help
So I use a needle to escape the pain that dwelt
Understand I'm not looking for some sympathy
I just want to know if someone truly cares for me
Every night I pray to Jah before I get some rest
Please tell me there's a reason for all this stress

no 16 year old deserves to be on the streets. They are still a child. Emotional, beautifully written
