A lot of this is going around, Linda. Some can grow up in a "stable" home and still turn out like this teenager because of many intangibles. But the foster care system of America leave a lot to be desired, much corruption within the ranks and those who would take in a teenager such as this one. Good poem. Good reflection. Sad premise.

Very touching poetry, Linda....it takes great courage just to survive in this world, especially when the odds are stacked against us....but I believe there is greatness in all of us no matter our background. You're obviously a gifted writer.......

So many lost children end up taking the wrong path in life only because someone took love and caring out of the equation of raising them.

It is sad that such situations are all too common in our so-called "modern" society. Your compassion shines, Linda. Thank you. Love and best wishes,
