the system
I see a diffrent room, diffrent people
A lady looks down at me, smiles and says this is your new foster home
The lady takes my hand says come with me
I knew at that moment i was considered in the system
I decided then and there i would not become one of those kids that get lost in the sytem
I would not be ignored,i would not become another statistic.
The people were nice to me but evry child needs more than a roof over there head and food to eat
I was one of those people i needed love
The lady that brought me here came again
She smiles at me again, takes my hand and says in a cheery voice are you ready to go home
We pull up to a familiar place i look out of the car window and see my grandparents house
I knew at that moment i would find love i was finaly home
Against all odds that were stacked aainst me i did not become a statistic, i did not get lost in the system like so many others before me
I was determand to be better than the hand i was dealt.
