The Orphan

12th birthday of mine
i will never forget
not because i got,
a new playstation

but because that's when i found out
that i was adopted

mom and dad said they wanted to talk
their smiling faces overshadowed by nervousness

i felt that something was wrong
but i never saw it coming
for a few minutes,
everything was frozen
we just stared at each other

tears fell down our cheeks
but then i smiled

as i realized that
two strangers made me their own
and treated me like their own flesh and blood
when my own didn't want me
