Gone For So Long

Where did you go? I saw here a minute ago, You disappeared right in font of my very eyes. Why did you leave? Was it because of me? Oh Daddy wont you tell me? I looked under the bed, I even checked the closet, But you were not there! Daddy, Mommy says you gone. Daddy were did you go, I hate this new game of hide and seek! I promise I'll be good. Mommy, is bring all of these new guys home! Daddy everyone is telling me lies. I'm so confused! I feel so used! What did I do? Is it my fault? Did I yell to much? Can you tell me Daddy? Wont you tell me what I did wrong? Or are you to afraid to face me? Oh I feel so sad! Mommy just left! I can't take it any more! I cry every night now! I think it was me! I did something wrong! I was born! They say we would be in foster care, But Sheri took us in! Now she says that it wasn't our fault. I honestly believe her. You really hurt me, And I trusted you. You finely came back, I'm really happy! Wait, who the hell is that? A STEP MOTHER! Why, Sheri is just like a mother to use! You love her wow that is a shocker! How the hell can you love that thing! Her eyes are popping out of her head! Did you strangle her? Sorry to judge, But, she is u-g-l-y, And she ain't got no alibi. Now you gave me back to mom! What did I do this time? Why is it because I'm a girl? Is your wife getting between us? That thing says I was just so bad! Is true, huh Daddy is it? I need to know! I feel so lost and so confuse! When will you try to visit me? Are you gone for ever? Is it temporary again? Can't you tell me why your gone again? Mommy, she's throwing thing at me, She is calling me bad names! Daddy, where are you? I can't keep wait for to save me. Daddy, I hear my brothers are coming to live with me, is it true, huh daddy is it? They are hear and Mommy saying your in some stuff, Is it true huh is it? Daddy, I'm looking to the heaven for an answer, all because you want to ignore me! Mommy is threatening us again! What do I do? Tell me what to do!

Kids always fell like they are to blame, when nothing could be further from the truth... some are treated like pawns at the very time they need love and devotion the most. Well done Sarah! God bless, Keith

This is serious business; however, the piece flows very well. I can see the images and they are like a movie shots. Welcome to Poetry Soup and great job! ~Joseph
