Equations
(One Adoptee's Emotions)

One plus one they say makes two.
But I’m not sure that this is true.
In this case one and one made three.
Explaining how I came to be.
Then three came in between the sum.
Divides them back to one and one.
These equations seem to break.
All the laws of give and take.
But life not always plays by rules.
Nor by facts we learned in school.
I know this all so very well.
I only hope to “show and tell”.
When one and one took separate paths.
That you don’t need to do the math.
To see this story problem’s mine.
I am the remainder left behind.

Such a bittersweet poem. Thank you for sharing!
