New Start

A child lost in the foster care system...

From the darkness,
I emerged into the light.
And with passionate emotion,
I screamed of fright.

 

That which forced me,
Left me cold,
And I was forgotten,
With no one to hold.

 

Soon I was moved,
To a place with dim walls,
And no one would reply,
When I let out a call.

 

Again I was forgotten,
Set to the side,
I couldn't run,
All I had was to cry.

 

Time passed,
And I was moved again,
This time to a place,
That wasn't so dim.

 

I sat in this place,
As time passed me by,
Not really living,
Just waiting to die.

 

People asked questions,
I turned my back,
And they left quietly,
Afraid of attack.

 

As time grew older,
I was pushed on the street,
With no where to live,
And nothing to eat.

 

I lived without love,
And hated the truth,
I told myself lies,
In hope it would soothe.

 

But I just grew dimmer,
And harder inside,
Until the day,
I tried to die.

 

He found me alone,
Bloody and out,
And he called for help,
As he filled with doubt.

 

I awoke in a room,
So bright and cold,
And looked at my hero,
A man so bold.

 

He stayed with me,
Until I found my will,
And then he helped me,
Push over that hill.

 

I forgot my past,
And gave him my heart,
And together we began,
A brilliant new start.
