Evacuation

Rush out of the train with a smile of relief.
But what for?
Waiting around for strangers?
It was a long time away from home
And I thought I would never go back
To see mummy and daddy,
Daddy might be dead? Mummy could be out of work?... Again.
This world is cruel and makes me feel like I've been dumped with awful people.
They aren't that bad but they aren't my parents.
The parents that laugh at my jokes and love me dearly. They're just imposters. Imposing my rights- picking me out from a dump. Trying to say it will be alright. It won't. Just because the air is different doesn't mean mummy and daddy will be ok.
