Summer Paradise?

Eyes gazing up toward the sky. Hands
Holding onto swings. Children’s
Laughs taking booming louder than the
Roaring cars. “You’re it!” They shout in the
Afternoon sun. Joy covering their faces. Their
Tiny bodies ready to make it ‘till tomorrow.

I stood across the road, staring. Oh, how I
Envied them. I wanted to charge in and join
Them. I remember when that was my
Summer paradise.
I looked from left to right and back left
Again. I sighed. I sighed. I also just wanted to cry. Car horns
Honking at me. Me looking down to the floor.

When did this become
My summer paradise? When did summer become my
Dreadful paradise? Why did it happen to me?

My eyes were
Glistened with tears. I was waiting for the right sounding
Honk. One that said “summer can still be fun, just not like when
You were a child.

The hot wind blowing, moving my crystal
Locks smoothly. My bare feet in the sand and in the
Grass. Moving my toes, hugging you. I always wanted to swing into the
Clouds. You wanted that too. I wanted to play games of
Catch. You promised we’d play catch until the morning
Light.

Why did you choose summer? Why did you choose my
Favorite time of the year? What happened to the fun? What happened to just
Laying in the sand at the beach? What happened to sixteen year olds just loving
Life? What happened to
Me?

I gave you everything that summer. It was summer paradise.
It was summer love. It was perfection. Until you decided to
Use me. Lied. Cheated. You told me that this summer would be
Perfect. Perfect for your ever growing need for money and
Drugs. Perfect for selling a body that
didn’t belong to you. Perfect for me to be the most
exploited girl in town.

Eyes gazing up toward the sky. Heart nearly beating out of my
Chest. Legs barely able to walk properly. Needle holes fill my
Arms. Broken teeth in the hot, humid winds. I glancing toward the ground,
It’s barely noon and the right honk appeared. I marched. Screams of
Excitement, nothing more than faint background noise. I’ll never stop living this
Summer paradise.

This is not something I thought I'd ever write. I'm not entirely sure if it's any good. I really need some comments on this because I'm not sure how this will be perceived at all. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Did I get emotions across?
