The care home kid

There’s always the same thought I think about

So here I go and let it out

It not easy to say it or do

Because when I am writing thinking of you

We kids feel we are problems the day were are born

The feeling we are a burden from night to dawn

I feel and I do get in the way

I wish this feeling would go away, unfortunately it here to stay

I already feel I ask too much from you

But remember how much I do really love you

I had this feeling since I was little

This feeling made me very brittle

I know I am a problem for earth

It eat away at me slowly like I have a curse

This is how care kids feel

I know my wounds will heal

Just to say I love you so

It looks like God has chosen you to be special among the Billions of young people on Earth. This does not happen often Dale.

worked with care home children, they are bright, interesting and loving people who have had a s****y break in the world, they should be in the safety of a loving home but that not being the case, society should do more to include these young people and show them that they are worthy...There is always someone who loves you.

its so tough - to feel wanted and loved - its not easy to see that those who love us really really do love us - but they come through, you know - they stick - and they tough it out with us - they become brave so we can be brave - they help us feel the pain - and then overcome it - there's a strong, courageous poet who wrote this honest poem - its not easy - but those who are brave know that - they know that is not about not feeling pain and fear - its about overcoming fear and pain - one step at a time!
