What I wish I could say

I miss my mom,
I miss a woman I don’t know.
I miss someone who may not miss me,
I miss someone who may not remember me.
I wish I could say that I just want to see what she looks like,
Make it seem vain without emotion.
What I wish I could say is I’d like to view her life,
What I wish I could say is “Hello”;
Because she took me home before realizing
She couldn’t take care of me.
Giving me a small belief that she wanted me,
And that I haven’t gone forgotten.
What I wish I could say is that she’s a part of my life.
What i wish i could say is that’s not my mom.
This is my real family,
I’m not just a random kid.
Set in a random family,
Given to a woman who wanted a daughter
For selfish reasoning.
What I wish I could say is thank you;
Mom you made the right decision.
I’m better here,
I have a family.
What I wish I could say is this has been my life
But sometimes it all feels artificial.
What I wish I could say is I feel a strong attachment
To a woman I’ve never met
What I wish I could say is i have a love for her,
That i’ll never have for you.

I'm adopted, this is how I feel about being adopted.
