FOSTER CHILD PRAY
I am screaming from the depth of my soul
Trapped in the body of a 3-year-old
Searching for love that abandoned me
My parent wasn’t there for me
I felt a loneliness deep inside of me
we reunited after a few years, and I held back my tears
It was weird; me
how can a person be so near me?
be so far from me.
Hate could be contagious
Love is addictive
The outcome of my life was predicted
Deep in my subconscious everything matter
I’m searching with a flashlight in the depths of my soul, looking for good memories that I can remember
I just wanted my mama to love me a little
Papa to take me to the park and play with me a little but
He was gone forever
I was confused hoping that one day we would see each other
That would be good news
But they are going to lose
other people’s thoughts are embedded.
if I could
I would prevented it
but had no choice
Had voice
I couldn’t speak out
So I stay silent
My heart was telling me to get violent
But I was screaming from the depth of my soul
Trapped in the body of a 3-year-old
Searching for the love that abandoned me
Heartache and pain
No one understood
it’s Driving me insane
These are things I never forgot
Poverty put me in a trap
It was hard to escape
I was patient
I had to sit back and watch
Many days I was tense but I had to pretend that I’m loving it
thinking that my family will come back
They never did
They never did
There were times when I didn’t want to live
They claim that they will protect me
They put me in a home with people
who didn't love me They saw me as a dollar bill
So they and their biological can live
I got hip to the process so I processed the process.
So I made up my mind that one day I will be a success
No Hugs
No kisses
So I act out just so that I can move out to the next house to escape the abuse
I refuse to be touched again
By grown men and women who can’t see the hurt that they are causing
The pain that I am feeling
Many nights I cried
screaming from the depth of my soul wondering why
My parent abandoned me.
