Mother, father, why have you abandoned me?
Cuckoo birds, leaving me in another's nest.
Even though I'll find my way back someday,
Completely, like the rest.
I was born a lamb,
Grew into a lioness.
Though, this achievement could not be
Done without your influence, I confess.
But I am an angelfish
Inside of a school of crill
I look and even SEE differently than they,
And don't always follow the exact same ways.
Through life's cycle,
I am now a wolf -- yearning to start a pack.
A family to love and care for,
There's honesty in that.
I will raise them, and love them,
Let them go through different changes
Be it the Eagle, the Bear,
The Stag, I could go on for pages.
But this I know true,
To them I shall never doom,
To the horrible, wicked fate
Of that of the Cuckoo.

It shows a 'you did wrong by me, so I will go the other way' attitude. Would you claim to be a pagan, if you had the love and respect from parents, siblings, friends...that goes above and beyond? You show that you will be 'right' in having/seeing/loving....but how do you know you will? Your persona is just being molded.... you will be different in 5 years, more different in 10, more different in 20 years. Do you admit that knowing much means admitting that you know nothing?

I'm really amazed. Not with just the imagery, but with the maturity. There are a couple of grammatical points, but as a whole, it says much. I like the cycle of the animals. It says much about the silver wheel that we all find ourselves on.
Keep writing, keep working. Learn the tool of the language well. At 16, I'm really impressed.

Upon a Parent is this thing placed,
A responsibility that must be faced,
It's sad when people keep emotions hid,
The one who suffers most is their kid,
It hurts to be wayward, Away from the den,
When you get older, you will remember when,
Your strength and desires were put to a test.....
Do not let it hinder you, Child do your best......
Even if Mom and Dad are away,
God will always love you, Each and every day.
Do not turn so bitter, Because things seem bad,
I'm 32 and was devastated when I lost my Dad........
But I am my own person, To live on my own,
And you will be too, One day when you've grown!!!!!!!

That is a great poem!! Did you just make that up? WOW!! That does change my view in life. You must have had a hard child hood. That was great. I don't think I could do somthing like that. Great job. I feel sorry, but stronger and determined. May God bless you : )

As I wrote before, I was glad to read the speaker of the poem finds relief in sleep, 'as I alone fall asleep, redemption caresses my dreams.' The sense of utter loneliness gives away to relief. I enjoyed reading it.

A nice poem, but not life changing. Not for me. Sorry. Doesn't change my views on anything. But then again, I'm 45, not 15.

Too many animal references, stick to just one.

Leave it as it is, for it is beautiful, though somewhat sad. I am adopted myself.
