Another Part of My Life

You are confused,
but the answer is so clear.

You say "back off,"
only because you hold your broken heart so near.

You hurt others before the hurt you,
because we have never learned to fully love and care.

Outsiders never seem to understand us,  
an the things that we had to bear.

But, sister, don't give up on your adoptive family,
because they will always be there.
