When I smile
I'm really crying,
when I laugh
I'm really dying.
When I move
my body's aching
when I sigh
my heart is breaking.
You see I'm really shaking
beneath my outer core
my pain is elevating
and still it stays forevermore.
Will you help me,
lend a willful hand,
show a golden heart,
or shall I stand
forever unspoken
forever misguided
forever and always
broken.

The author's comments:
I wrote this a little after I was placed into a foster home. This poem symbolizes the way I was treated during the before fostering and after fostering time period. I felt like nobody wanted me, I felt alone and numb. I just wanted to know that somebody wanted to help me get through it all.
