Who Are You Part 2 Poem by leticia starkey

when o was four i moved
from the family i was with
my whole life was a myth.
it seemed like my life was fake
my foster told me i saw my last birthday cake
that i would work in the yard and rake
man life seemed fake.
i can't believe this is happening i want my mom
i just want to go home.
i thought to myself what do i do
it's just different with out you
i didn't know that i was that i was no longer a kid
i had to take care of my brother
if only i had a mother
or some other family
that would take me in
and let me be.
man i wish they could see
how good i could be
