It seems I was born just 18 years ago
The truth is I have been left
In the dark for so long

I don't know my parents
Some might think thats odd
But it's true

Yes I have the perfect home
Yes I have people that care about me
But it's not the same

I don't know to explain
But being adopted was the greatest thing
That ever happened to me

But I can't look back and think
Of what might have been
It's too late now
Because you are
The parents I never had
I just made up this piece in my head. Most of which is true. I was adopted 18 years ago. I am happy about where I live, but it isn't the same. I can only hope that my life will get better. Please critique, but keep in mind this is how I feel.

Dear Chel,

I have had these feelings many times myself, and I believe any piece is wonderful if it comes from the heart, and I can clearly see this one has. Awsome poem and continue the work.

I thought that this was nice. I think it's great that you were adopted into a nice family and was taken care of.
Great poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I wouldn't touch it. That's right, everyone! I won't throw the whole "do a format" speech that I am so notorious for! Not here!

It is great how it is.
So keep at it. And good luck.
