foster

Growing up in and out of foster care since 3

I have literally waited my whole life to be free

Used to count down the days until I would reach 18

No more rules, no more orders, less responsibilities

Don’t have to keep the girls in check, just had to worry about me

Never stopped to think if there would be fees

Once released, it’s like this beast just came out from within

Anything I could touch or get into I did

Moved back home with my mom where the party never ends

New trends big brothers friends sneaky plans with dividends

A virgin I came after 8 months of playing with the lames

 plus 9 more of blame games and reciting names

23 hours life giving and altering immense pain

A fresh 19 year old with a baby and a new set of goals I became

To take my first step I had to evolve

Look over to a mother I didn’t know

Promise myself I’d be the woman she had failed to show
