Knowing Who I Am

I need to find 
myself
because i feel so 
lost and betrayed
I need to know 
who i am
because i know i 
am not me
I need to be set 
free
because i feel so 
locked up in a cage
I need to find a 
family
because i feel like 
am all alone
I need to know 
who i am
because i know i 
am not me
I need to know 
who my father is
is...that too much 
to ask?
