Can't You Hear Me?
You take it all and leave just me,
In a lonely world full of misery,
Mystery, mysteries; clueless 'bout my history.
My screams so loud; I screech and cry.
You fail to hear; blinded by pride and greed.
You’re causing pain, creating scars.
It’s affecting me so you don't give a damn.
I'm determined one day to be free.
Free, free I’ll fly so high, I’ll earn some wings.
Not even a phoenix can get me down.

I’m sad, but I’m not bad
You’ve changed, I’ve changed, we’re not the same no more.
I thought you loved me, you thought I loved you,
But no, it’s like we’re at war.
I stood up for you, you stood up for me, but now those days are gone.
I think your goal was to change me, and now I’m sad, you think you’ve won.
You had a chance to speak, and you did
I had a chance to speak, and I did
At meetings you put on your brave face and so did I,
But really you think it’s a race so…you think the race is on,
Who will get to the love first?
Oh dear, I’m almost there it’s me! But now you think I’m the worst.
I gave things to you, you gave things to me,
I looked after you when you were ill, you didn’t look after me,
But worst of all, I gave you love, friendship and care.
But did you give it back, no… for you that’s just hard to bear.

What I’d like…
For him to say I look nice
And give me a cuddle
To tell me it’s all alright
If we are in a struggle
To say I make him proud
And he’s glad we are together
Plan our future on the sofa
Because were going to be together
Forever.
Help me gain my confidence back
Wipe away my tears
Make me feel special
Help me face my fears.
Let him know I trust him
So he doesn’t have to lie
Kiss me like he’ll never see me again.
When we say goodbye.

Moving on
Letting go of the past
Starting a start that’s fresh
Getting rid of everything bad
And reaching for the best
Getting to see new places
Meeting good nice friends
The past goes out of the window
Cause this is where it ends
Moving on with my life
With nothing in the way
Negative behaviour left in London
And that is where it will stay
Going to college to get good grades
Focus on me for a while
Get a job that’s worth having
Grow up in a good style
Changing my life now
I’ve opened my eyes to see
All though alcohol gave me good nights out
The future is relying on me

Mum, Listen to Me!
No matter how loud I shout,
You don’t seem to see,
That I’m your son and I can’t get out!!
I feel trapped but not alone…
Because for now I know that this is Home!
Wherever you are…
Wherever it is…
Please, I need you to just listen to this…
You left without a goodbye…
And I was left in tears…
All the time…
Just wondering why???
You had to go, you had to leave…
The alibi you told…
That I tried to believe!
So, Mum listen to me…
I want to come home,
I want to believe,
That there’s more to life than you see!
It may feel sometimes
That there’s no hope to be free!
But for you, there’s your daughter and me!!
We are your hope and your belief…
So tell me now mum…
Are you listening to me!!??

Care
A child so pale comes in to care,
He looks so battered, dirty and scared.
His carers provide him with food and a bed,
They kindly put a roof over his head.
The child says,
“I do not wish to be with another,
Because you are so much better than my mother.”
“I must stay with you I must I must,
To love each other and earn trust.”
“Please stay with me and hug me tight,
Teach me the difference between wrong and right.”

Guardian angel
Sometimes in life we need to share,
Our feelings which are hard to bear,
When in our hearts we feel such pain,
The extra strength we have to gain,
For who will keep us safe
And listen when we lose our faith.

Foster care and me
I'm not one of those who’s battled through life
Who’s gone through endless trouble and strife
Two 'placements' is where I have been
And one of them I’ve been not so keen
I’m happy where I live now
Sometimes I think to myself 'Wow!'
How lucky I’ve been to find
A family that is so kind
That helps me when I’m blue
And promises to see me through
So, don't hide yourself away
Where even vultures dare to play
Come out to join the few
Who are proud to be in care too
Being in care is not so bad
So there’s no reason to get so mad
They're trying to help you every day
But you just want them to go away
But what would you do if they did disappear
The world would not be so clear
So start to change how you persevere
And do not wear your heart on your sleeve
And maybe, just maybe the pain will go away
And one day
One day
You might accept, reflect and not reject!
