Dark discrepancies and paradoxical paradigms lie within foster care. These stories are often inaccessible; unscripted or hushed within communities. To begin the construction of a foster care home, it requires sturdy wooden frames of will, an insulation of approval and bricks of supportive systems. However, external audiences are often shielded from the decaying wood, cheap insulation and missing bricks. My pentaptych suite of poetry written for English Extension 2, ‘The Best of the Worst, The Worst of the Best’ strives to purposefully interrogate the true efficacy of the foster care system.
