Happy New Year!
365 days of blank, clean slate
A fresh start
Positive! Smiles! Resolutions!
New me
Without you
Happy New Year kid!
You have no parents
No Mum now if I ever really had her
Always out of reach
No Dad if he was ever really mine at all
Suitcases always packed, bus ticket at the ready
Living in a lake of fear
I have love, I have family, adopted
Adopted me as I adopted them
Temporary
Until a better offer comes,
Prettier, smarter, babies, husbands, whole families again
And I am replaced
Thrown out, blotted out of photos
Happy New Year kid!
You're on your own in the big wide world.

* *"At first it is not so bad...
...the freedom, that's the way you see it.
Then the other things start happening."*
The consequences of freedom...
*"You tell yourself,
I live on the street,
this is what happens,
bad things too...
can't let IT get you down?"*
The consequences of freedom...
Free...
To be or not to be...
**beaten
*****
ripped-off
arrested*
humiliated
tortured*
manipulated
hunted*
abused
sad**
To Be or Not to Be...
That is
'A'
question
-for a Street Kid?
