What did I do wrong?
You're always telling me that I'm never good
You make me seem as if I don't belong.

All these years, I've lived with your screams
Happiness and joys only live in my dreams,
You complain about everything, and I'm always there
But you're never here for me, it's not fair.

Whenever you feel angry, you take it out on me,
Its only when I'm alone am I allowed to be free
I guess I should thank you, you took me in
But now that I think about it, I guess it was a sin.

When I was little, I used to worship your every word
Never once complaining every time I got hurt,
But then as I got older, I finally understood
That you never wanted me, in your way I always stood.

And then you starting yelling, and I could feel the pain
You were always warm inside, but I was in the rain
Never once did you think about my life
While you were bathing in riches, I was playing with strife.

The knife became my only friend
He would always listen to my pain 'til the end,
I wonder what my real parents wuld be like
Whether they would give me toys and a pink bike.

I wish I could find them, and tell them goodbye
That this world isn't worth living in, I'd rather die.
You thought that adoptation would make me happy
But you were wrong, it only brought misery.

Whenever you think of me, all you think is hate
Condemned to be mean to me was your only fate
And maybe you'll never understand my pain
Whenever I'm sitting with the knife down memory lane.

Why do you always shout at me?
What did I do wrong?
You're always telling me that I'm never good
You make me seem as if I don't belong.

All these years, I've lived with your screams
Happiness and joys only live in my dreams,
You complain about everything, and I'm always there
But you're never here for me, it's not fair.

Whenever you feel angry, you take it out on me,
Its only when I'm alone am I allowed to be free
I guess I should thank you, you took me in
But now that I think about it, I guess it was a sin.

And then you starting yelling, and I could feel the pain
You were always warm inside, but I was in the rain
Never once did you think about my life

That isnt just the pain of being adopted my friend..
As a poem this is weak, because of it's lack of structure and rhythm.
Dont get me wrong, Im not a good poet, but if the rest of your poetry is like this, thats the reason youre not getting many comments.
Also, people will not read your poems unless their titles are interesting and attention pulling. Im sure you know that..

Wow, I am adopted too. I never got along with my parents. In fact my mom still resents me for not being the perfect little girl she dreamed of. But now that I am out of the house and know about my real parents I AM grateful. I could have had it a lot worse. I hope things get better for you sweetie.
