A teen wakes up under a bridge of overwhelming traffic
Been a runaway for far too long
Beginning to lose themselves
Once thought that the choice to run was a bad one
Now can't even remember why the choice was made
Survival is the only thing on their mind
How to do so the only thing that matters
Can no longer remember the fists to their face
Can't feel the kicks to the stomach
Starvation is familiar
But not because in the home they almost died from it
Had no friends to run away too
So determined to make it on their own
They took to the streets
In hopes to make some quick dough
Didn't turn out to be so easy though
Going up top to the bridge to make their rounds
They have regulars but looking to pick up more
The more customers the better
You'd be surprised at how many will pay to have sex with a child
And how many get what they want and push the kid out of the vehicle
No money to be had
This one's on me I guess
Move on to the next
Asking up front for the loot
After asking "What is it that you want me to do"
Deed done, exit stage right
Then walk down the street to continue with the job for the night
And the night after
And the following
Until their body is found in the gutter
And to identify the body may or may not be called
The ignorant and abusive father and mother
Consider this, a lost one
