Dear sister please don't hold
my upbringing against me
we are not the same
nor in blood or water
I struggle to be loved like you
to be accepted for who I am
not the blood running in
my veins
I try to crawl my way out
from behind the shadow's
to shine on my own, to be me
and free
Dear sister please understand
life was not fair to me
as it was to you
I hide behind my scars
praying to be apart of the family
but the truth is
i never really belonged
I was taken, not born
and I was never accepted
like my dear sister
