Foster Kids
Kids bouncing around shifted from home to home
Longing to fit in and have a place to call their own
Often filled with so many insecurities they don't know the feeling of real stability
They long to love and be loved but somewhere they got lost and have difficulty to find that ability
You're the ones they end up taking all their anger and resentment out on
Some are too young to comprehend why or how the life they once knew is gone
All they really know are the things they've been taught
People are unaware of the secret battles they've fought
They often act out and get into trouble seeking any kind of attention
Alot of them have never known unconditional love and affection
More often then not they blame themselves because they told the truth but were trained to lie
They beat themselves up over it every night as they lay in bed and cry
Some had beautiful lives but tragedy struck and somehow their family died
They had no one left and were separated from their siblings who survived
They're afraid to get to close to anyone thinking of the loved ones they miss the most
It's hard for them to let anyone in as you feel like you're fighting with their ghost
They were forced to grow up fast as their previous life was so demanding
They need a friend,alot of patience, love,support,and understanding
Don't abandon them all over again being so quick to give up and walk away
What they need more then anything is a caring loving home in which someone makes a true difference to change their life for the better and stay
