Adoption Poem by Kewayne Wadley

You told me I was like a child,
Not truly knowing life.
 
You called me spoiled, And selfish.
Unable to forget reason why I felt this way
In the first place.
 
Instead of talking, you calmed I cried and whined.
Seeking the comfort of my favorite plaything.
 
You calmed that I grew boring.
Single reason for your silent stares.
 
Unable to bare, you packed your things and left.
Abandoning me as well as the thought of you.
 
Not so much as a single call, or a word good bye.
You left me standing there, lost without a single word.
 
You treated me like a child.
With the pending statement hang on to your shirt.
 
You grew uptight,
passive in the way you loved.
 
Instead of talking. You gave commands
And expected it done when you wanted it done.
 
You told me I was boring. When you sought being myself was wrong.
Never wanting me to leave your sight. Or go out and do the simplest of things
 
Unable to bare, you packed your things up and left me there alone.
I pleaded with you and offered to share my playthings. You looked at me and threw a fit.
 
Was this single reason you gave me up for adoption.
Seeking affection from someone else who in turn did the same to you.
