Sat in the centre of the room
Still feeling
So alienated
Why do I not fit in?

Is it because
I'm not one of them?
Because I don't have
Beautiful but fussy children?

Or is it the fact that
I'm not yet their family.
Because my surname
Is still different to theirs.

Maybe it's just
That I'm not used to this.
Sitting around,
I'm feeling useless.

A million things
Going round in my head.
A million screams
Silenced instead.

So I'm still sat here.
Feeling so alone.
You're all my family,
But why can I not call you my own?
