Does Anyone Care: a Child's Thoughts

Some kids go through life afraid,
But not because of choices that they made,
More because of the life they are forced to live,
And that Love no one could give,
They have a family and a home,
Yet every day they are alone,
With family some space they share,
But does anyone really care,
No one helps them to understand,
That if we try life can be grand,
Instead they simply muddle through,
With no real idea of what to do,
Never sure where they belong,
Nor do they care what's right or wrong,
All they want to do is fit,
So some false love they can get,
They think any kind of Love is the same,
Others can't see it what a shame,
Their life no one wants to touch,
For them it just be to much,
The insanity they want to stop,
Out of this world they want to drop,
Treated bad to many times before,
They really just don't care any more,
Spent their whole life alone,
Got nothing more then a heart of stone,
With this they can no longer deal,
Next thing they're out to kill,
Life has been a complete strain,
Now it's time to end the pain,
It's to bad no one could see,
That only death could set them free!

The things you describe here would certainly explain the escalation in teen suicides, Bill. I wish every child could know the kind of love I received when my parents were alive. Very sad, but meaningful poem. Goes to my favorites. Unclue Charlie is a smart man! Best wishes, Carolyn
