Terrified
Terrified

Her seventeenth birthday is in a month.
Still in foster care and not having a home
Realizing and terrified
Knowing when she turns eighteen
She is all alone.
Not knowing what to do
She does what she does best
Run and run
With nowhere to go
Failing each and every test
She sets her own funeral
Soon to be dead
Digging and digging
Until she decides to
Make her grave her bed.
Her life was almost complete
With one more year to go
Now she is breathing heavily
Almost gone for good
This she sadly knows.
Leaving her family behind
She closes her eyes
Hoping they understand
She is gone for good
This is her time to say goodbye.
Her seventeenth birthday is in a month
But she wont see it because she is finally home
Not on this earth
Or with her family
But she is not longer alone.
She is in perfect bliss
Not terrified at all
Not longing for pain
Not longing for sadness
She is now standing tall.
