Puzzled
By: Raquel Perry
Confused by Confused by life's puzzle inside my heart,
Pieces are missing, lost since the start.
A simple foundations the biggest part,
Always searching for answers contained in this art.
Unwanted baby, no goodbye, just go.
Too young to realize how the pain would grow.
The adult now struggles so it will not show.
How life deals us these painful blows.
Like loving a family, I will never know.
I lack in the knowledge most everyone gains,
from having a family all I learned was pain.
So many visions have danced through my brain,
how having a family keeps people sane.
You are born who you are and loved just the same.
They are your foundation and gave you a name.
Just knowing your family from which you came.
Don't know who I am, all I feel is shame.
Because I am different, I am always to blame.
My puzzle complete, will never be.
Don't have a family and they were the key.
Without a foundation, adrift in this sea,
Never loved by a family, for just being me…

Raquel, yours is the first poem that I've read on this site as I just joined. It is the most beautiful and truthful poem that I have ever read that has touched the very core of me. Everything you wrote resonates with me. And the tree is so symbolic because of its roots and family history we seek, but never seem to have? You touched me so much and I want to extend my love to you. I so hear you.

Hello!
I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I have not logged in here for some time, and I never got a notification of any comments in my personal email.
Thank You very much for your appreciation, I wrote that hopeing that it would be an outlet for the things I have held inside for so long... However, it has only been recently that the real clairity of how being adopted has affected me. (So, I have been going through some real depressing times... ) I thank God, for my 2 little boys (5 & 2, *3 on x-mas day) I have thought about how much they need me, but in truth, I need them even more...
Thank you again,
Raquel

As I noted above, it’s
As I noted above, it’s supremely ironic to witness such unfounded arrogance being used to accuse atheists of arrogance. It does not seem that either of these people knows the least little thing about atheism or atheists, but that doesn’t prevent them form pontificating about atheism and atheists — judging atheists in a manner which, coincidentally, allows them to feel smug and superior. That, by the way, is a nice definition of arrogance.
