Adopted

I’m sorry if I was to much

Sorry if I was uncontrollable

But you were meant to love me

Like a parents supposed to

I know i was loud and lively

But isn’t that what babies do

I never meant to hurt anyone

Especially not you

There were other things you could have done

But chose to do the worst one

I never knew who you were

You didn’t give my fathers name

The only reference i have of you

Is a life book written by a social worker

It may have been for the best

It may have been that you didn’t want me

Either way i was tossed about like a ball from person to person

None of the families lasted more than a week

I guess that makes them a bit like you

I want to feel loved, taken in, accepted for who i am,

One day i will find someone who does love me, does accept me and takes me in as one of their own

Who finds a way to cope with the list of problems

They’ll find a way to nourish me back to normality

We’ll eat fish and chips on the seafront in summer, watch telly together at night

We’ll joke around and have lots of fun

Someday my time will come

They’ll fight hard to have me, to brighten their lives

Sorry if i was too much

Sorry if i was uncontrollable

But you were meant to love me

Like my family does now
