Forgotten
Kids - Forgotten_kids: the children that have nearly invisible disabilities..
They have their arms and legs, can see and hear, run, play,
etc., but most have never been to a Birthday party or a sleepover..
they are last to be chosen to play, and first to be blamed.
Their illnesses aren't fatal, but a small part of their hearts
and souls die with every rejection. Their behaviors may seem
odd or unpredictable to themselves as much as society. They
are overlooked, thus the name "Forgotten_Kids". |
