Scars

Poem Artwork


Five years old
Scared and lost
Foster parents
Whats the cost
Still abused
Shadows surround
Fear makes such
An evil sound
Scars so deep
No one can see
The empty space
Inside of me


Bounced around
Here and there
The years go by
Yet no one cares
Drifting from
Home to home
I've never felt
So alone
Scars so deep
No one can see
The empty space
Inside of me

At sixteen I'm
On my own
Hopes for a family
Are now gone
Knowing I have
Nothing left
Struggling to
Feed myself
Scars so deep
No one can see
The empty space
Inside of me

I wholeheartedly agree with Andy on this - absolutely gut-wrenching and the saddest part is that this is the 'norm' for these beautiful and precious human beings. God bless their hearts. jh

Another absolute great write,
excellent
so true this write,
abused kids when taken away,
from their natural abusive parents
sometimes is like taken them
Out of the skillet,
and placing them into the fire.
so shameful is the so call system.

..the darkness seems to be having the upper hand..BUT I still believe that sometime soon the light will prevail..I have six children and know only too well how quickly their innerness becomes scarred..so many children are brought up in homes by people who shouldn't get any where near kids...Oh where is justice in this world..
Touching write..food for thought...ty

Beautifully expressed. This truly touches the heart. How sad the things that happen in childhood that carry over into the rest of our lives.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."
It is precious of you to notice those who have gone unseen, unloved.
You see where love should be- and you notice it is not there. But you do more than that Linda...you put it there.

This is so sad and heartfelt, Linda. Unfortunately there are many children on the street who have met with the same fate.
