Childhood

My childhood was good but it could've been better I went through a lot, and even wrote CPS a letter My childhood didn't really last at age thirteen I was put in foster care, so I grew up fast My childhood was great until one bad day when CPS came, and took us all away My childhood became nothing but pain, and six years later I'm still waiting to see my younger siblings again Everything was fine, and they should have left us alone, but instead we were all separated, and all living in a different home You learn new things when you have to grow up fast especially when you realize your childhood doesn't last I hate CPS, and what they have done By age fifteen, I was as mature as a twenty year old, but I still wanted to be that little girl, and I couldn't, so I was told If I could go back and make things different I would just so I could replace time, and things lost, or do things I couldn't, or wasn't able to do in my childhood Now I'm twenty, and everyday I look back, and it hurts inside that CPS had to come and attack Things would be so different I know they would if my childhood would've went on like it should Instead it was ruined, and taken from me I hate you CPS with a deep passion, because memories of my childhood will never let me be, I know all your lies, and you all never told the truth All for the money, but God will take care of it all real soon Ya'll took something from me CPS that I can never have back, and that is my childhood I will cut no slack. My childhood was great until CPS came along moving me from place to place where I didn't belong So CPS, what do you have to say I lost my childhood, because yall wanted some pay God will get you one at a time the things you all did was just crime after crime I don't have to say my name you all know it very well. Remember I was the "little girl" who gave hell, and since you took my childhood from me, I have grown to be a very smart young lady, and you all will see My mom and I are ready we're not scared at all, and when the truth comes out you CPS will be the first to fall. Thanks for taking my childhood, and I hope you all are proud, and soon higher authorities will be reading my poem very clear, and very loud Everyone will know the truth, and it will all come to an end, and I pray everyday that CPS won't be able to take away another childhood again!
