I was good enough to be called little girl 

To be told I need to mind my elders

To be given gifts with attitudes but I was not good enough to be family

I was just your lost son daughter 

Someone you hated to have around. 

It was not just me it was my dad too

He was not good enough to be called family

Now we’ve moved on head held high

I am no longer confused 

You did not choose blood because the devil told you it was tainted

The devil is your family 

We were just given your blood by accident perhaps 

Now we are just those people

Another broken family but though I did nothing wrong 

I was not good enough to be called family

This is very personal for me and my family. This is a true story about how I felt after a recent ordeal
