Only 15 prt2

Plz read Only 15 prt1 b4 reading this:)

Jacob sat alone
crying on his bed
listening to voices
arguing in his head

Listened to his foster parents
argue in the next room
stuck inside this hateful place
trapped within the gloom

Jacob stared at photos
faded and torn
of the mother he never met
who gave him up after he was born

He often wondered why
but no one ever told
why she looked so young
a story untold

He asked so many times
to be told the truth
why he couldn't see her
why there wasn't any proof

One September morning
they told him that she died
he was so full of anger
angry that they lied

So many questions
remained unsaid
why did she give me up
the thought burned inside his head

Why was she so young
he was told she was just 15
too young to be a mother
she was still just a teen

And what of his dad
where was he?
a father unknown
a mother he cannot see

Foster parents who hit
get into drunken fights
and Jacob is alone
every single night

This is hell he thinks
as he reaches for the blade
there is no reason
left for him to stay

His questions soon will be answered
soon he'll be above
reunited with a mother
who never felt love...
