This little boy is adopted. Here he talks about his feelings, and emotions. |
I have been in this family as long as I can remember Yet still, when I look in the mirror I begin to tremble I have many special memories stored in my mind I don’t know whether to keep them, or leave them behind This family calls me Michael that’s my name I wonder if it’s real, because I’m not part of their chain I’m so confused, my life is mixed up When I try and figure it out, it’s even more corrupt This scenario is harder then it seems I pretend it’s not reality, and it’s only in my dreams I hide my tears, and continue to act normal But as days go by, it becomes un-formal. There’s things I want to ask, but when I open my mouth to speak I think about it, tremble and become weak I look in the mirror, Michael that’s me I look for family resemblance that I can’t see I pray to god and wonder where my family members are I keep them in my heart and think their not far I have something I should at least proclaim The fact this family and me don’t look the same Each day I become even worse I feel like its something I need to rehearse This family is too nice for me to ask questions I have yet to talk to someone and make suggestions This family is really nice, and I will continue to love them I’m a different color, but we sparkle like one gem I grew up with this family and this is where I’ll stay But I will never forget my family, and haven’t till this day I have so much on my mind So much to say, but this family is much to kind I want to know everything that happened one day I think its time for me to go my own way I look in the mirror, and try not to cry I shake it off, and know one day my soul will fly She loves her son and daughter equal to me She should save her love, and let me be free They said they must be honest; I'm an adopted child They found me after a war disaster, things were wild There was no one left is what they were told I was taken away at one years old They wanted a little child, and I was the one They filled some papers in 1 year is was done My mom and dad died is what they heard My dad was taken away, they never heard a word They saw my mom dead on the ground I was still in her arms when I was found Mom got shot in her innocent heart When I heard this, I was torn apart Love from my mom and dad I never felt Don’t member being in my moms arm held My sister and brother out there somewhere I will find them some day this I swear I need to know who I am Find my family, I wish they’d understand This is a battle with myself I fight I need to be calm and hang tight I see my moms face in my mirror and say I need you I tell her I need her to get through Why did they take me from your arms when you were killed? They should have left me to die; I would have been more thrilled If I were with my family we’d share laughter I’d be with my family happily ever after They think they can relate to me I'm not their family; it’s easy to see I'm confused with my inner surroundings I go outside and listen to the birds sounding I'm hurt confused and unsure No one can fix me; my family is my only cure This family isn’t mine, I feel like their people I borrow I still feel sorrow and pray for a better tomorrow I have been away from them for so long In my heart is where they belong Bombs might explode everyday But my family I would never betray I give myself my own good advice That I will see mom and dad in paradise This isn’t my family; it’s something I stress They’re not my family, but I don’t think of them less I can’t get carried away and begin to stray I will continue to sit and pray In order to live a happy life, family is required They are the ones who will keep me inspired I dream of my parents of being with them later I close my eyes and see us in a place much greater Another day goes by as I watch the trees sway I sit outside and think of my family each day I need to find my family and stay strong It should stay with me; it’s something I should prolong I might be young, but there’s something a believe That I can find my siblings its something I’ll achieve My temporary family tries to settle me I have been here too long, I want to flee I saw images of war on T.V I had never seen anything so brutal, change it I had to plea They think they know me and who I am I'm African, black not one of them Its people from their nationality That took them from me, and killed my family I don’t see the good war serves It gets me sick, and under my nerves I wonder how life works, as I get older Is it just I or are these peoples heart colder War did so much, it’s so wrong It put me through this pain that’s lifelong This family looks like the people who did the killing When I was watching TV, the images still chilling She kisses me, gives me my lunch and send me to school Does she think I didn’t see the news, I’m no fool I keep my thoughts in my mind, I can’t tell I hide it to myself really well I feel like I'm by myself I’m very depressed, this isn’t good for my health All I need, is my real family to be there I will find them one day, this I swear I wish my mom could see how I expanded my linguistics I went way beyond African statistics I did it all without anyone interfering If my mom and dad were here, I'm sure they’d find it intriguing There’s nothing like family, with you forever To help you with anything whenever No one can replace my brother Not this family, no other I wonder what its like to live back home To have mommy around, to hear her tone. I will find my siblings this I swear They have to be out there somewhere For now I will live on with this family still in search Of my family to be with happily, I will research I don’t belong here, and will soon leave And when I find my family, love I will receive |
