No better then the rest

No better then the rest

A Poem by unclecharlie

They say to forgive forget and just carry on
That nothing in life as yet is even gone
yet those words hit so deep
It's only with Valium that I can sleep
An innocent action of Love that was shown
But miss placed words could have made grown
Even though it's a child's Right
To know she's safe all day and in the night
That we all Love her so very much
When her life is lacking lots love and some trust
A Father that loves her complete
But Mother she's got others she needs to meet
Mom and Dad their miles apart
And that breaks her little heart
Her daddy I sure can not be
But Love and trust I can help her to see
Plus some place stable where she can fit
My friends, in my home that's what she would get
Yet now fed back to the wolf's little den
With  her life's fucked up and did anyone win
A child deserves more then love and to be protected
Not push aside and some what rejected
This is written with some tears on my face
I should have held my anger and kept her at this place
But those words put me right to the floor
Really wondering if I deserved to live any more
I have spent days just sitting here stewing
But being fair to the child no one is doing
The wrong wording brought on a massive anger
Then we sent her back into the middle of danger
Now with the feelings of being lower then life
And in my heart feeling the knife
With a childhood that was just short of hell
Little stories like her's are easy for me to tell
And for these kinds of children there's nothing I wouldn't give
Even my own life if a better one they could live
Maybe more times we should think our words through
Because there so much damage the wrong ones can do!
I could have even failed this little test
Not keeping her life stable I'm no better then the rest!
