Failed
Failed by the ones who should have cared, DHS, police, and school just stared, Paramedics came but could not heal, Family knew but refused to feel. Every day I seek help, but in vain, I'm left alone with my pain, Tired of being the caretaker for all, When no one takes care of me at all. It feels like I'm drowning in despair, And no one seems to even care, I'm tired of struggling all alone, In a world where I feel unknown. I've lost faith in those who were meant to protect, And now I'm left feeling broken and wrecked, It's hard to find hope when all seems lost, And I'm paying the price, at such a high cost. I'm exhausted from trying to stay strong, Wondering how much longer I can go on, But even in the midst of all this strife, I'll try to hold on to the flicker of life. Though it's hard to keep the faith, I'll try to find a different way, And hope that one day, somehow, I'll find the strength to rise and try to forget that my heart has been badly paled . But now I just look back and think. I've been failed, I've been failed. I've been failed May 11th 2023
