Life Before and Now

My family was happy. Everything was good. Until state took us away. I've never understood. My parents haven't visited. Never came back for me. Or even to see my other siblings. I thought they loved us. We were their whole world. Just words coming out I'm just a fool. I sit and watch other kids get homes. But not for me. I refuse to go. Home was a place where I was once thought of. Now it's memories of what's not for us. I won't talk to the people who are here to help. I have issues. I do not trust very well. Pills after pills to make it all better. Here's some news for you It worse having to take the medicine. Its a reminder of how messed up I am. How I'll always have problems with depression. Like rain the pain it stings everywhere. The wind brings more rain to flood what's left to spare. Maybe in my next life to come. My mom and dad will never just give up on us. Maybe there's enough love to be shared. With the kids who are all still in foster care.
