You told me a lie
that I used to live by
now I know the truth
and there's no rock to steady
me, in my trembling boots

I do not know my mother
I do not know my father
how do I find the strength
to stop my shaking breath

Do I live a lie
or be a sacrifice?
I haven't confronted my family since I found out I was adopted. They never told me. And they don't know I know. I'm finding it hard to keep a clear mind.
