Twenty Years

Years of questions, crying, and needing
Years looking for answers
Searching myself for some kind of reason
I thought I would be content with just something
All I needed was something to give me an identity
I was wrong
Now I want to know more

I found the papers this morning
The legal peices of printed words
Telling me who I really am
I saw your name for the first time
I ran to a mirror to search myself
Using your last name as my own

Who are you
Who does that make me
In the papers I am "Female Infant Hatfield"
Now I go by another name
For twenty years I wanted all this information
I wanted to know who I am by blood
Now I just feel more confused
I just feel all the more alone
