foster care

ANTHONY

came into your lives a lost and lonely child,
Full of anger and resentment,
Overwhelmed with fear and confusion.
Yet you took me into your home, your lives, and your hearts.
From the very beginning you tried to make me feel welcome and wanted.
Though I fought you each step of the way you never gave up on me.
Instead you patiently and lovingly took me under your wings,
protecting, guiding and shaping me.
Showing me love and understanding.
Giving freely and openly the praise and affection I so desperately needed.
All the while expecting nothing in return.

a broken child

ANTHONY

A heart that’s broken
Split in two
A scared child trembling
Not sure what to do

A heart that longs to be mended
Healed Again
To be cared by somebody
To heal the pain

A heart that belongs to a child
That is confused and hurt

Fallen

Stephanie Mitchell

29 Jan, 2014 01:24 AM
What am I?

I am no Angel,
I am no Saint,
I am not loved 
In my current state.

I am no human,
I'm not a man,
I am a demon
Who enjoys others pain.

Come Back

You told me you’ll never leave me
that I was the only person you see,

Remember the memories we shared
all those nights when we actually cared
with every kissed and hug felt right
and to love you with all my might

until now my heart looks for her
her touch, kiss and love I prefer

Why did that night had to happen

Non Potest Accipere "Can't Take It"

Gwen B

Running running running 
Away from all the fears 
Away from the cruelness and the jeering 
Trying to not succumb to your tears

How can you keep living 
Amongst the cruelty of your peers? The thoughts make you start quivering 
The weight of people's stares

Your life is a living Hell 
The pain too much to bear 
You've tried to live your life well

Shadows

Cassandra

31 Jan, 2014 10:29 PM
I stand in complete darkness
Staring at the trees and the 
Lights sparkling
I watch the moon
Shifting shadows
Bring things into light
And then plunge
Them back into darkness

People do the same thing
Always spinning
Moving constantly

Whispers

CrystalWolfTear

31 Jan, 2014 10:06 PM
Whispers sift through the leaves
As I imagine the Autumn again
A season that contains many memories
A season with endless pain

Your whispers hurt my delicate ears
They are like sharp cries and screams
They bring back my childhood fears
And slaughter all my dreams

Your whispers make the leaves dry
Every plant in reach withers and dies

My Sacrifices

The Darkpalm21

04 May, 2014 02:19 AM
I took my heart,
locked it up,
and threw away the key...

I took the box,
said a prayer,
and tossed it in the sea...

I watched the box,
slowly sink,
to the bottom it would go...

Breaking Inside

CrystalWolfTear

31 Jan, 2014 09:55 PM
I close my eyes to find again
The sharp yet devastating pain
Within my weak and fragile heart
That is slowly getting torn apart

I try to forget all the past
Yet somehow you still thrive to last
I cry inside yet you won't hear
I just want my end to be near

I want you to remember me
Not a smudge by a distant tree

She Finds A Knife

UnbreakableHeart7

28 Jan, 2014 08:59 PM
She finds a knife,
Cuts real deep.
Doesn't understand,
The life she could keep.

She feels trapped,
Inside her mind.
In misery
She tries to find.

She tried for peace,
Tried for love
