In the Dark

Alone,

Waiting in the rain like a lost kitten,

For them to come and get me,

Another child run away,

From a family of fosters,

Police looking,

Radios calling,

Sweet ones looking to make sure you are safe,

Others looking to destroy all you know,

In hopes,

That you will,

Never,

Find your family,

Your real family,

Ran away once,

Will do it again,

The cold,

The rain,

The storm,

It doesn't bother me,

I feel safe,

A bit lost, yes,

But outdoors is home,

The city is not,

And I'm suffocating in a place they call home.
