I bare my soul through words of rhyme
all I've seen through the passage of time
as this token I leave …a small part of me
lessons I've learnt in my fight to be free…
Free from life's hunger
always yearning for more
holes in my school shoes
and no open doors
only hot food to warm me
just a cold bed to sleep
memories best forgotten
leave nothing to keep…
free from life's dark fears
and all that fear means
crying into darkness
…nightmares as dreams
everyone threatening violence
no where I can hide
scared to keep believing
scared to be alive…
so please read these words I'm leaving
and try to understand the truth
life could be so simple
if we cared for all we do!
