You left her in the water and now she is sinking

Drowned her without even thinking

You fool she is still blinking

She inhaled the water she tried to stop herself from drinking

She tried so hard not to be like them

How do you think it goes when the arms that you thought were holding you were always numb

You were at the tip of their thumb

But now you are just at the bottom of the tub

My name is Crystal and I have been in foster care since age 10.  I enjoy sharing my story through poetry and short stories.
