#9 of Poems

This poem is based off of a book idea that I have. It centers around a teenager named Jaime who has been homeless for a few years and finally gets taken in to a psychiatric ward by a social worker after trying to commit suicide. The poem hints at a deeper issue that Jaime goes through, one that has helped them to survive. But if you want to know more you'll have to guess! I can't give away too much after all! The chances of me getting around to writing this anytime soon are pretty slim but I do have it on my list.

* * *

Broken down.  
Broken apart.  
Broken in ways I   
didn't even know where  
possible for a person   
to break.

Shattered into a   
thousand nice little  
pieces all of them  
fine and razor sharp.

Black and blue eyes  
to go along with a black  
and blue soul.

Just a matter of time  
until the next family  
gets tired and shuffles  
me on to the next poor  
couple who feels like   
taking on a charity case.

Every minute passing  
by feels like poison in  
my veins. Caught between  
two worlds neither one  
able to accept me for  
who I am.

Run away and they   
drag me back again.

More counselors,  
more false hope,  
more lies about how  
my life will all turn  
around some day.

Just another homeless  
teen on the streets.   
Just another face lost  
to the crowd.

Just another statistic  
in an endless stream  
of numbers that no  
one cares about.

Just another innocent  
mind warped and   
twisted by a world that  
is far too harsh.

So I'll make another me.  
One who's strong and   
brave. Who stands up  
themselves and never   
let's anyone take   
advantage of them.

I'll create someone else  
to take the pain. A   
person who can take   
the pain.

Who can endure it all  
and come out stronger   
than ever before.

A person who's just  
as twisted and crazy  
as I am.
