We are the children they call “Lost”,
We’ve been left we’ve been tossed,

we live in a broken system,
we live in a system being broken,
when they look all they see are “The Lost Children”,
because no one cares enough to listen.

we have no one to love us,
they see us as another cost,
there is no one we can trust,
no one to miss us when we’re lost.

My reflection on the foster care system, and the feelings of neglect, and loneliness they suffer.
