lol no worries
I didn't think this piece would be so damn long myself-I went to reread and I caught myself sayin "damn thats long...." ................then contemplated readin it or not lol -
DAMMN! VSOP this piece is no joke fam, I loved it!!!
I can relate to it, I too am adopted, although my birth mother is still my mom (I just switched dads).
Props on this piece, you really flipped it and the last three lines are really nice way to set it off too… but my favourite part of this poem in particular is that the flow is so effortless and unforced as much as the verses are laid out with headings etc… just a great piece all round, superb! Congrats on this piece one of my favourites of yours :tu -

Yeah, it's dope that you can recognise something that affects you and direct it in a positive fashion towards poetry yet channeling the pain out of your system at the same time.
To be honest, I feel that you should let the birth dad go… only so long someone should matter, no matter their influence or significance… even close family. I know it's easier said than done though.
Keep droppin' 'em! -
there are people who would ? to write like that

thanks for takin the time to read and reply

its not even much of an afterthought on my mind, adoption isn't a thought that comes up daily ya feel me? I was just talkin to someone about it and the story that I know, came home and jus ran with it while still fresh on the brain
thanks for takin time to read though my dude -
wowwwwww....this piece open some wounds that I've yet healed...you literally spoke to those that endured the abandoned with flare and ammunition...each line was raw and open from the heart...you poured your soul into this poem and the results was jawdropping...thats the reason why as much as I "retire" and wanna quit being a writer/poet....I come crawling back to put in work and see work from those that take the art seriously
a family tree with no branches and no roots
father......I am the old you with a winner smile
I owe you
heres a middle finger from my inner child.....
almost choke up with that line...especially from the perspective of a single mother child with a dude that posed as a "stepdad"...but enough of that....bottom line you still is one of the best poets to ever typed in this ? sub forum...keep dropping those lines of pure truth called poetry my fellow poet
peace
