Love Me

I have quite a few questions for you I've been wanting an answer for years Of course I can't really ask you I don't know where you are My adopted parents told us that you tried your best You tried your best to take care of us To love us To give us what we needed But they also told us what you did to me What you did to my sister After hearing about it You can understand why I don't think you tried your best Why did you do these things to us? A mother should be home taking care of her children Not going to late night parties Or burning their kids with cigarrettes Why didn't you try harder? The things you did didn't show love They didn't show protection either They showed carelessness Why didn't you care? If you did I wouldn't have ended up in the hospital I wouldn't have almost died We wouldn't have ended up in a foster home Why didn't you take care of me when I was sick? Why didn't you stop those men from touching my sister? Why didn't you pay more attention to what was going on? Why did you hurt small, defensless children? You traumatized me Did you know that? I had such bad dreams I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming I ended up having to go to therapy because of what you did Were you ashamed of us? Were you embarrassed? Just please tell me What did we do wrong? Why don't you want us? Why don't you love me?
