[bodytext] => I didn’t understand when I was a child, Just that my birth mother didn’t want me all the while, I never knew how special it was to be adopted, As all the confusion danced around in my head. I remember at school I felt really alone, Not having a brother or sister to call my own, I’d hear stories of the sharing and of their fights, As I lay in my bed I’d envy them at night. I wished for my feelings of loneliness away, But the wishes were ignored as my sad feelings did stay, I was sick of feeling like empty inside, But the feeling of emptiness I was able to hide. Although I had everything and didn’t have to share, I would have given it all up for someone to be there, Why was I the only one like me? The only one who didn’t know their family tree. I’d long to have another to play with, Inside me I had a lot of sisterly love to give, But I remained alone all through the years, With no brother or sister to wipe away my tears. I was accused of being a spoilt cow, Because I never had to share I didn’t know how, If they only knew just how alone I felt, How if I had a sibling how my lonely heart would melt.
