  persons self worth. You can find talent with
  any young person. They all have talents which

• The Playground
• Im in the playground all alone,
• Feeling like I want to be home.
• Supervisors and children everywhere,
• Running around and playing without a care.
• I ask if I can join in the fun,
• But they all say no and away they run.
• Theres shouts and giggles and boys cheer,
• But no-one knows that I am near.
• I see some people playing hidey,
• I hope no-one is being snidy.
• I ask if I can play.
• What do you think theyll say?
• I will be, I really dont care,
• But not all the time, thats just not fair!
