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.
