My assured life will end with today.

I know it.

My foster parents have been glowing with glee from it.

They look at the time by the minutes.

By doing that they dampen my spirit.

They know it.

In fact, they like it.

They don't want me to feel important.

Unlucky for me that I have them,

As foster parents!

All they want is funds from the government.

But now that I'll be sixteen,

No more funds,

No more need for me.

They'll kick me out, those bastards!

I can't find a job because they never empowered me.

They didn't send me to school even.

Everything I know I kearned on my own!

Time goes TICK TOCK!

They are about to punch my clock.

While I'm sitting on the worn down couch,

I think, “I am literally fucked!”
