Little Girl Lost

Thinking of the past thru my dreams,
The feeling of desperation,
Knowing this dysfunctional family. 
Wishing, hoping, praising,
Just to survive the rumors yet,
Knowing and feeling all is lost.
Hearing voices in the hallway,
Words only imagined.
Phrases, words and visons,
Finding and sending reports of,
" Little Girl Lost" for years.
Verification of things I had doubts about.
Now the truth can not be denied.
Searching, looking but nothing found.
My grandmother upon her death,
Told me you have to believe in,
Yourself, look within your heart and soul,
It Will show you what your searching for.
She said they threatened me but I told them.
Told who??  I love you were her last words.
I fell on her crying.
Footsteps behind and I turn around,
Two F.B.I. agents.  
Your grandmother told us everything,
We have her recordings.
I realized then I am no longer,
"Little Girl Lost"

No just I felt like I never quite belonged. The dots never connect. Born abroad been asking the state department for 10 years to type up my birth certificate only to find out that they type it up 10 years later only because I wanted it. The information didn't match in the birth certificate. I'm the only one with curly hair. I guess I'm a mutant haha. Just wondering
