The Runaway! - An Original Inspired Poem and Art - Enjoy with Troy!
Alone and scared yet scarcely known
Upon the city street,
A child uncared without a home
rests her weary feet.
From foster care there once enslaved
Within a living hell,
Now torn and tared with scars engraved,
A tale to sad to tell.
Her life abused and used for cash
For pleasure and for pain.
A virgin bruised cannot be trash!
She wanted to abstain.
She stares and sits and sits and stares
With cupcakes on the ground.
Collects her wits, a wild hare,
A runaway not found.
Her home to find, rewind the scene,
Her mother once was there
A heart so kind, but she's a teen
Sold off to foster care.
Oh dear mama, my mama dear
To have you here today.
You'll be a grandma, now don't you fear
If they don't get their way.
That's why I ran, I can you know
to save my baby's life.
With hope began I just said "NO!"
To killing with a knife.
For I've been scarred and scared too long
The scarring now must die!
Though life be hard, I must be strong
To hear the baby's cry.
Oh dear mama, my mama dear
To be with you today
You'll be a grandma, the time is near
If I can get my way.
If just to live, to give this child
My life that could not be.
For this weary world is wild
This child, it must run free.
With knowing eyes and jeans so blue
A duffel bag of red,
still silent cries that no one knew
The journey lies ahead.
To foster care where kids are scarred?
Hell No! It will not be!
We are a pair to not be marred.
Don't dare you mess with me!
Oh dear mama, my mama dear
To come home to you today.
You'd be a grandma with toys and tears
If I knew the way.
I'll be OK. just say a prayer.
Perhaps you too will see.
There'll come a day we'll all be there
Grandma, child and me.
Alone and scared yet scarcely known
Upon the city street,
A child uncared without a home
rests her weary feet.

Oh dear Troy this is a beautiful incredible poem. You are a very gifted and brilliant artist! I am so impressed with this poem. I felt every word. So sad but so true. It really touched my heart. It sounded so real, like this horrible tragedy happened directly to her. And it very well could have. The article about runaways where I seen this photograph of this child, she looked exactly like this child I drew, sitting in a dark alleyway. When I drew it I could almost feel her pain, her eyes were so full of it, and I wept. I drew it because I felt someday I could show it to the world, to touch someone’s heart to help these children who need guidance and a good home. Look , now a beautiful poem from you, and my portrait drawing of the runaway little girl that I drew over thirty years ago together as one. Bless you dear friend. I believe that God had a plan to exposed our artwork at his time, when it was right for Him to show the public. We must have faith, I deeply believe in this Troy. What a better time than now, when horable things like this are happening more frequently all over the world. I believe God puts people in are lives friend, we were meant to meet. I pray to God that many people may look upon our art, touching their hearts, to reach out to help these broken babies in every way they can. Thank you @enjoywithtroy and may God continue to work through both of us and his church, wich are the people, to bring great awareness and hope to these children who need our help. Bless you brother, Gods fine soldier of love ❤️.
