Nature Or Nurture

So intertwined it was hard to tell Was I born like this or was this nurtured? Feelings unclaimed by others in my family Resonate from my child self I thought I was adopted, was sure of it However my identical twin was sure she was not And we do have Daddy’s eyes Nature or nurture? My soul self remembers blips and slivers Of other lifetimes Or were these my dreams? Hard to say; they were more vivid than life Is that what dead this? Real living? I am not a philosopher Yet I remember things so hard, And feelings I cannot name For there are no names for them So was I born like this or was this nurtured? I look back and remember But was it this life or another? Complications for sure

Sometimes I think I might have been hatched. No, you don't want to know why, but if you see my duck feet, you might have some idea.

I have some weird things but I will keep them to myself until the right poetic opportunity presents herself.
