The Pain I've Overcome

Poem about my past...my dark woeful past

There is an ache in my heart

One that I have never shared

In my head ive thought

That noone would ever care



But since this is my chance

To let it all out

You'll regret it, cause

I'll scream and shout it



I've been adopted for 8 years

But trust me, It didnt come without tears



I was taken from my home

When I was about one

I went through foster care

And home after home



I'd given up hope of being loved

I'd pushed around and even shoved

I'd been choked and raped and slapped real hard

I'd been made to feel like I was a retard



The pain and torture I received from a "mother"

Im wishing it had come from another

I was raped by a girl that I called sister

On my heart theyve left a blister



If this is not painful enough for you

I dont know wat else I can do

I know that my heart is still aching

And this pain, I am not faking
