Tell Me Why

There are a lot of things that happen in your life. Some good, others bad. Some take the most beatings, but why?

When my twin and I were three,

We were taken away by the state,

As my mother wailed for another chance,

It was too late...

When I was three, going on four,

I was adopted to a high powered family

Yet there was so many secrets,

Pedophiles hide in many ways,

When I was four and half I was taken away,

Discovered that my home was nothing but porn,

Adopted again by a Brady Bunch Family,

And on the first night,

Boys who were six years older then a five year old,

Told us exactly how to survive.

If we didn't do sexual favors,

They'd tell their mother that they hated us,

And my twin and I would be seperated forever.

We endured... casted away our souls,

Just to be with one another,

To have a link between foe and friend.

Now that I am old,

My sister passed at age 41,

Murdered by her husband,

I sit and wait for my destiny.

I sit and wait for God to intervene between the good and bad.

Author's Note

My own personal issues. Adoption is not always a happy ending. Don't hate me.

How can these things happen to good people, a question that can be debated for ever... in my opinion it is cause there are bad people too and the good like to see the good in others as well and therefore end up getting taken advantage of. It is basically good vs evil, heaven vs hell... and unlike in movies good does not always win. I know so much bout you past and you have endured a lot in you life but you are still here. Don't await destiny... make yours what you want.

No, you're right. Adoption can be bad. There's no guarantee that the homes are good. Unless you are part of the family they just can't know the things that go on. This was heartbreaking and horrible. It makes me wish I could take it all away and make things better, but nobody can do that. Thanks for sharing this. Its brave for the writer to do that, but the reader admires how much of yourself you've put into it.
