Family Tree

I ripped it apart

Limb by limp

Branch by branch

Trying to put together

The bits and pieces

I could find

Trying to find out

Who I really am.

I ruined my family tree

In hopes I could find

The person

I really was

But all I got

Was splinters in my heart

From all the family members

Who seemed to forget

That I even exist.

Instead of finding out

Who I really am

All I did

Was rip apart

The person

I'm supposed to be.
