Raised by Love. Haunted by Blood

You think adoption’s a blessing?
For who?

The parents who needed a child?
Or the child who was cut from their roots before they ever had a name?

Let’s talk about what actually happens.

You grow up in a house full of love —
but still feel like a guest.

You laugh. You eat. You smile in family photos…
but deep down you’re wondering:
“Who the hell am I, really?”

You weren’t given up.
You were taken from something ancient —
and handed a new life with no instructions.

You don’t feel grateful.
You feel split.

One side of you tries to be perfect…
The other side wants to burn it all down and scream:
“Where is my real mother?”

But you don’t say that.
Because you don’t want to hurt the one who raised you.

So instead, you swallow it.
Every. Single. Time.

This isn’t just wall art.
This is emotional ammunition
for the ones who were never allowed to ask what they lost.
