My Life

Born to someone who couldn't keep me,

Adopted and brought to the United States,

Went back to get another child, my sister.

Started kindergarten, learning really fast,

Goes back to kindergarten because of young age,

Realizes that I can work hard to achieve anything,

Gets in big trouble for the first time, I change.

No more childhood from now on I tell myself,

Begins to understand and struggle with life (and love),

Earns my pointe shoes and learns more control.

Notices that I am good at school and becomes determined,

Remembers I can do anything if I really want to,

Understands how lucky I am, and vows to improve,

Works to be more positive and the best I can.

I am going to end this poem here,

Before it becomes too personal,

Sorry, but these are the only years,

I feel comfortable sharing...

I am 21 years or older.
