Fostering Feelings: The Product of the System

By Marilyn Stormiey Scott

Growing up in foster care leaves marks you can't always see-but you can feel. In Fostering Feeling's: The Product of the System, Marilyn " Stormiey Weatherz" Scott turns those hidden scars into poetry that speaks for every child who learned to survive in silence.
This collection is a raw, unfiltered journey though the emotions born in the "the system" the confusion, the anger, the loneliness, the hope, and the strength that grows in the dark. Each peon carries the voice of a girl who wasn't supposed to make it, a girl shuffled from place to place, learning early that love had conditions and safety had limits.
Now grown, she returns to those memories with a pen sharp enough to cut through the silence - and soft enough to hold the child she used to be.

These poems are for: Anyone who lived through foster careAnyone who raised themselves emotionallyAnyone who carries childhood woundsAnyone who wants to understand what the system really feels like from the insideStormiey writes with grit, rhythm, and truth- honoring the child who survived and the woman who rose. This is more than poetry. This is a testimony. This is what it means to be a product of the system... and still become whole.
