As many of you know I'm adopted and it's a little different to go through your whole life not knowing who your real parents are...I wrote a poem about my feelings on the subject and I didn't want to put it on my Poetry page. So I just put it on it's own page. I've only let one person read it before so if it sucks well, oh well it's how I feel...
Questions of a Life Unknown
Who am I?
Where am I going to?
Who could I have been?
What did I do to be abandoned?
Lost, confused
Was I too much to take care of?
Should've thought of that in first place
Why bring a child into this world
Only to give it away?
I'm only trying to figure out
This craziness in my head
Couldn't you have given it a try?
Hey, I'm not such a bad kid
I didn't turn out for the worst
I only wish you would have given it a little thought
Before giving me away
Don't get me wrong
I have parents near and dear to me
Who took me in and gave me hope
They are more than just caretakers
they will always be there
You I guess are biological
nothing more, nothing less
It's hard for me to understand
The pain I feel inside
I still think you could have tried
You just don't realize
You messed me up
Because of you I'm always wondering
"Could I have had a better life?"
I'm not saying the one I have is so terrible
In fact I like it a lot
But there is always something
In the back of my mind
I always wonder "who you are?"
And "why you let me go?"
I'm sorry if this bothers you
But it really bothers me
All I'm saying is that I'm your son
You should at least acknowledge me
I never asked for this adoption thing
Isn't this a democracy?
Where's my vote?
I guess I'm a little bitter
My sarcasm a little harsh
But I only want some answers
And maybe a little love
