Amend
May 16, 2019
I’ve been in and out of Foster Care now
I’ve had so many parents I lost count
Some really care others do not know how
I’ve been swinging in the dark, now I’m out
I’ve loved I’ve lost I have nothing to lose
My pride has been gone with my dignity
My one fake dad left and put on his shoes
My real dad, I’ve heard nothing but scrutiny
My mom has moved on, does she really care?
My Grandma needs help but how can I help
Mom has slept with guys if their roof they share
I will help Grandma and nurse her to health
This is where we will leave off till the end
This is my cross to bear, I will amend
