Forgotten Blood Poem by Ilana Sabio

Forgotten Blood

As you sit in the adoption office,
You think to yourself
Why me, why couldn't it be someone else
They forgot about you
They left you hanging

No one should suffer what you have gone through
Although you cry tears of joy
There is still sorrow buried inside you
I could be sitting in my mothers lap
But you still pity the fact they left you

You look up with a tiny smile,
At the lady who is going to adopt you
She replies with an evil and crooked smile.

You sink back in your chair with fear
She reaches for your hand with meaty hands
You grab it hoping it ends

You found your self moving from place to place
You feel emptiness in your heart
Finally you end up with a family that loves you
You look them in the eye and realize they are your parents
You have been traveling to so many places
Because the adoption place was looking for them
You are no longer forgotten blood
You are pure blood.
