Trailer Trash

Children in boxes. Children in bins

Today’s garbage and yesterday’s sins

Unwanted, unneeded and left out to die

Too tired to fight, too weak to cry

Bruised and battered, torn up and marred

Cuts everywhere with no skin left to scar

Confusion and fear will soon turn to hate

Not enough good in the stomach, too much bad on the plate

Recycled tears fall with no one to hear

The screaming of hearts for what they held dear

A clawing and ripping deep inside

Denying the truth that is: they lied

Minds fighting hearts, souls lost and forgotten

Bodies following paths too many times trodden

Growing up and away, feeling useless still

Life’s just a cage, just time to kill

Wanting to die the moment you wake

Hating every single smile you fake

Trying so hard to get out of bed

When all you can feel is sadness and dread

Clinging to loved ones as if it’s the last day

Even when your heart wants to run away

Living life by the clock, feeling middle-aged

Never giving up the search for that one missing page

Knowing it’s pointless- you struggle, you die

So you fill life with work just to get by

The little distractions only help so much

Happiness on display- you can look but don’t touch

Old souls trapped in young bodies, young bodies trapped in hell

Hearts trapped in chests, trapping secrets children never tell.
