Found Poems: Created from the book "Are you Out There God?" about homeless adolescents

I can’t believe they did this to me

Scared, Angry, Tired
I can’t believe they did
This to me

Ran away
Nowhere to go
I can’t believe they did
This to me

I’m ashamed
I don’t think you’ll like me
I can’t believe they did
This to me

He said he loved me then
He said he would kill me
I can’t believe they did
This to me




Help! Help me! Please help me!

“Help! Help me! Please help me!”
She was sprinting as
Fast as he
Let could cary
Her
She jumped on the van
Pounding, pounding to
Get our
Attention

Scared to death
No, no
Running, swerving, dodging
Across the dark street
“Help! Help me! Please help me!”

Then it happened
It pulled alongside the girl
He jumped out
“Help! Help me! Please help me!”
He started to beat her
Pick her up and throw
Her into the car
There was nothing
We could do
Every single word of this story
Is
TRUE
“Help! Help me! Please help me!”




Six of us in a box

Six of us in a box
Six beautiful kids,
Infinitely beautiful
But dirty
Bed ragged, unkempt
Six beautiful kids
The youngest 11-12
It’s not a bad box
Six beautiful kids
Six kids huddled together
Trying not to look ashamed
Six beautiful kids
Concerned that the father beat them
Six beautiful kids
These kids might have a better future

Six beautiful kids
