Confused About Adoption
I now have a new mom and dad.
I feel all alone and very sad.
For years I blocked out, of how I was sold.
For two hundred bucks, like a piece of gold.
But there is something that you just don't see.
That there is a difference between gold and me.
Gold you treasure, and can wear everyday.
I can be born, and then given away.
Time has passed, and now I have grown.
How will I make it , all on my own ?
I guess I will do the best that I can.
Even though life, I don't understand.
But someday the memories will all come back.
And I will be the train that fell off the track.
