We are left wondering who are parents really were,
or if it was because of me, this suffering I deserve.

We have no identity like others of you do,
While looking in a mirror of who we see, we haven't got a clue.

Our medical history is also sealed as we are told we have none,
As we wonder what condition we pass to our daughters & our sons.

Our right to unseal records is something that may start,
The process of forgiveness and the healing of the heart.
