Beaten and burned, <br /> <br />Hurt and Alone, <br /> <br />I'm still here in the dark, <br /> <br />Do I belong? <br /> <br />I know someone's there, <br /> <br />Someone who cares, <br /> <br />They don't tell me who to be, <br /> <br />They love me for me. <br /> <br />Though I've fought my battles young, <br /> <br />At the age I'm supposed to have fun, <br /> <br />I'm not alone, <br /> <br />I've won <br /> <br />I'm not afraid to stand on my own. <br /> <br />Finally I'm not alone. <br /> <br />Finally I belong.<br /><br />Linda Brooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-not-alone-7/
