Not Yours
Some days I love you, but most days I don't.
I used to be your happy loving girl.
That all changed the day you told me to stop.
I became how you pictured me --silent.
My silence and I went unnoticed,
I held my own hand since you refused to.
Decided I didn't need anyone,
Dropped my childhood and picked up my crown.
You think I want you in my life, I don't.
Take me to a judge
See I'm not yours.
Understand I will never be like you.
About this poem
I was adopted but they didn't want me either and tried to dampen my light. I still love my parents and am greatful for them but I shouldn't need to apologize for who I am.
