Foster Boy

You were told not to lie.
Told if you did,
You would die.
But don't pay attention.
They didn't know how to you in the right direction.
Always high,
Always pushing you aside.
That's why your here,
Here with these other boys.
In this place you called home.
But this man wants to take you,
To give you some place new.
Your too old for toys,
But he will treat you right.
So please don't try to fight.
He wants to raise you better,
And he has a wife,
You've already met her.
So take care when you leave...
Please?
