I spent 8yrs in the Foster Care System,
8yrs belonging to the state of michigan
In the care of 7 different strangers,
5 different social workers, 4 different
therapist, to many diagnois to count. A lot of medications
I wonder if they thought I was crazy?
It was hard, felt like I barely got an education.
My life I hated-- I just couldn't take it.
I got tired of faking it.
8yrs of people walking in and out of my life.
I didn't think I would make it.
Holding my tears back, just so I could stay strong
Everything in my life felt wrong.
I had forgotten the words to my favorite song.
All because my pain had lasted to long.
I just didn't want to belong
But I was young and didn't understand what was going on.
This poem is Unfinished
I aged out of Foster Care

I gave my self the name This is "Reality" because when i write I speak the truth I speak from my heart. Life is not easy. Life is what you make it. and I am making my dreams a Reality!!!
