Foster Kids
by Vonia Martin
Next to the men and women in law enforcement and the armed forces these are the toughest fighters on the planet. They fight every day of their lives just to be seen or to be invisible if it keeps them safe.
What does it take to keep living when you have nothing to live for? Spite. It helps to be spiteful. Stubborn, you have to be more stubborn than anyone who may want to do you harm. Crazy, comes in handy because no one messes with crazy. Loud, be willing to make noise when things aren't fair or just plain wrong. People resent me for using my voice to point out what isn’t fair but that is only because they are not fair. I am suppose to suck it up and be grateful for being treated like shit. Like I cannot see the difference in the way I am treated and the way everyone else is. Yes I have thought of the fact that it could be my personality but everyone loves me at first. That is until they find out I’m nobody. What do other people say about me that convinces, my would be rescuers, that I am not worth saving? What does worth saving look like? Please let me know so I can work on that.
