Poem:

 The Lucky Girl 

''There was a loved child  She didn't know her mom  Because she didn't know how to ask  She only had her dad  and she loved him very much  but she wanted to know things  Especially who her mother is '' ''But she didn't think she'd get an answer  And no one was able to help her  She's raised up well  She's raised thoughts which fell  Yet she didn't know she was lucky''

''There was a little kid  She didn't know her mom  Because someone else has played the role  She had her newly wedded dad  And a stepmother who loved her  Yet she used to want to know things  But all she'll ever be is clueless  And now that she doesn't mind,  She lost everything  All that she ever loved's gone  All that she ever felt's done  And she didn't feel lucky''

''There was a lone girl  She didn't know her mom  Because she had no one to ask  She stayed with the devils  And lived like a prisoner  But the unfortunate young thing,  had so much more to go '' ''Most of them was pain  And she's stuck in her own thoughts  Just to run away from reality  Just to run away from her destiny  She didn't think she's anywhere near lucky ''

''There was a broken teen  She found out about her mom  Through the breach of her freedom  She's escaped from the little hell  And was absolutely homeless  She was yet attacked,  But from pain, she learned  to fight back and be strong  And take her wrath for her defense  And finally, the young lady was free  And finally, the young lady was happy  And through the misfortune, maybe she was lucky ''
