Repudiated

Daddy said he didn't want me
He said he wasn't ready to raise me
Mommy said she was too young
She couldn't afford to keep me

Because of their faith
They decided they won't abort me
Without looking at me she gave me up
She said I'll be better off elsewhere

With someone who loved me
How can my own mother hate me?
How can she let someone else raise me?
I suckled on breasts that weren't my mother's

Sarah was a wonderful mother
But we were two different people
That was how I knew she wasn't you
The woman who bore me in her womb

After searching for so long
I finally found you
I was so sure you were the one
Your childhood pictures confirmed it

I had finally found my mother
After mustering courage to see you
You called me 'a mistake'
The first words of a mother to her daughter

I feel like a fool
Now I wish I never dug up the past
I wish I never found you
Mama has rejected me twice

She said I'll ruin her career
She said she couldn't afford to lose her family
She didn't consider me as her family
So she was eager to get rid of me
