I’m six years old and think I know it all
Everyday I learn something brand new
But I did not see this coming at all
I am confused and doubt that this is true

My life appears to be so perfect now
But this earthquake hit too close to home
I will not cry this I will not allow
But it is hard to not feel so alone

I’m six years old and have a broken soul
How could I not have known this all along?
I feel as if I’m going to lose control
I question if this is where I belong

Mom says I’m exactly what she wanted
I start to smile as she says, “you’re adopted”
