For those that were forgotten

For those that were abandoned

For those that were abused

For those who were not supported

I understand

I feel you

For the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years

you spent waiting, wishing, hoping

To be accepted

I feel you

I’m sorry you were forgotten

I’m sorry you were abandoned,

I’m sorry you were abused,

betrayed, lied to, made fun off.

I’m sorry you had to cry

That your pain was not acknowledged

You did not deserve it

Yet you endured it

Today, let them go

And know that you are acknowledged

By the right ones

That you are cared for

By the right ones

That you are loved, appreciated and supported

By the right ones

Always by the right ones
