Only two out of every ten children in America’s foster care system makes it. The other eight end up homeless, in prison or dead.

Homeless and nowhere to go
My heart is beating so very slow
Weaker and weaker my heart becomes
Every time someone plucks a string and strums
Homes are here, homes are there, homes are everywhere
When the people inside aren’t pushing me, they just stare
They are strumming my pain
And I am still singing in the rain
Does anyone notice that my soul is dying?
Does anyone care that my eyes are crying?
Strumming salvaged strings of my heart hurts more than a thrashing knife
I’m dripping into the darkness of death while everyone else lives his or her own life
I was birthed by the grace of God and given by him the glory of a golden heart
But what is the glory for if it is going to continue to be used and torn apart
I am dying from a broken heart
I have been since my lonely start
When I go to sleep tonight I just might not wake up
Because I am going to swallow all the pills in this cup
