My Song.

as i open my eyes i smile and hum my song here I lay in another room, another place, new rules and another face, mom said she would always be here, yet I'm alone and she's gone. was this my fate? an abused fatherless child bouncing from place to place. looking into the mirror i see a skinny foster child with out fillings, a child born in sin, born into a cold world shoved down from above outside this bedroom door is a new or another beginning, as i blink to hold back my tears of fear, i remember my moms love. i remember being hungry, cold, and beaten and my sisters too, i think about being homeless,no where to go as my mother cried sorry, how come my life is this way did I do some thing wrong, please tell me what did i do, i'm seven and already my life is a sad story. outside this door they don't see how i fill, the tears mom told me to hold back, to them i'm just another troubled child some one out of reach....., how do i fill safe in cold arms? when will I fill the love I lack, well here go's nothing....for thats how i fill....mom's old speech, i hope i can stay here a bit longer then the place before, it's hard to say goodbye to my friends and to start a new school maybe theses people will try to bye my love at the store, i just hope they're cool, after all i'm just seven how much more can i go through, taken away from my mom, moved away from my sisters, no love, no understanding, i'm a good boy so this is why I get to start a new, i open the door and out I walk wide eyed smiling and humming, they will never see, they will never know, they will never hear....my song.
