The Truth About Life

There was a girl, that was little
A very little girl
Who spends every single day
In awe of the world
She's fascinated by everything she sees
That she doesn't even realize
How harsh life can be

She spent her whole life
Learning about the stars
That she didn't even realize
How dangerous they are.

She went out to a nightclub
At only fifteen
She danced and she flirted
She wanted to be seen
But at the corner of her eye
She saw a man
Smirking at her, winking
She knew what had began

She backed away terrified
Screaming and gasping
Yelping for help
As the man started laughing
"You can't run away, girl
We're here in the alley
You should have thought twice
Before entering Death Valley!"

On the news the next day
The tragic story was shown
Of the girl that was raped and murdered
Her skin cut right down to the bone.
She wasn't aware
Of what was wrong in this world
It was her own fault
That her tragic fate occurred.

Out in the world
Is a scary place
There are dangers and responsibilities
That you must face
Please be smart enough
To take a breath
And slow down in life
Before you reach your death
