I did not mean to aggravate you
Honestly, I just wanted to know what you knew
Looking for any answers to the questions in my mind
Am I not living here? Are you just blind?
My prerogative it was to know the answers surrounding my adoption
But you had selfish intentions
You wanted to keep me broken,
So somehow you could be the one standing there catching my tears
You wanted me to know only selective things
Not the real story that most adoptive parents bring
You thought my questions were so bothersome
Maybe they were, to you
But to me they encircled my life and something true
I needed to be bothersome because you paid me no mind
Nothing was shared that would ease this burden of mine
I went years without knowing the truth
Years that hurt me so,
Left me to grow up different, you know
When I think back
You were the one holding the strings
The one who thought it was bothersome to answer me
Funny how now that I am older,
Those answers are still left unanswered
And I am still somewhat a mess
My bothering you did not help me a bit
I guess my questions were too much
Bothersome again, I bet.
