Words From The Heart Of A 15 Year Old Girl Poem by Stephanie MIller

Mom...
why do u always put a long face on
when you tell people i'm your daughter?
dad....
why do you always think less of me
like i will never become anything?
sister...
why do you always get upset,
when i tell you i have a problem with life?
brother...
why don't you stand up to bullies for me
like you did for your other sisters?
everyone....
is it because i'm not from your
REAL family?
am i an outsider to you all?
why doesn't anyone seem to want me around?
when i was little, i was all they ever wanted
now i'm almost 15, and i'm their worse nightmere anymore.
I don't quite understand it.
its life i guess,
always unfair.
but my own family,
doesn't even want me around....
isn't family suppose to be there for eachother
not kick someone in the face when their down? ?
i feel like i'm not even wanted in my own family
but yet... i can find time to love them with all i can....
knowing it means nothing to them
i blame myself for the way they think of me....
but i don't know if its me
or what is it.
but i know i'm not their real family,
like i think of them as.
i was adopted.
and i will never know, why they think so little of me

* explains how i'm feeling at the moment, i call my adopted parents mom and dad *
