It stuck out, like an adamant tail
like leech on skin, it wouldn't let go
though she tried to evade
though her stone heart was cold,
this shameful condition just wouldn't cave.
'Beyond the Sahara' the ad simply read,
no clear cut description of what laid ahead
The mantra enticing: The land there is green!
A grave invitation to a desperate teen.
I had my doubts, tried to make her see
but the life she had lived wouldn't let her believe.
Now the scars that remain tells us her tale
In the dark of the night, she relives her pain
the booze and the drugs wouldn't take them away
so she gave up her fate to the infamous rope.
Still the sad truth remains; she isn't alone.
