18th B- Day

As I look in the sky
I see the light coming down
I now know the truth
I knew it all along.

A woman lies dead in the middle of the street
I could tell right away who she was.
I run to her aid
Trying to revive her lost soul,

But the deed is done,
God has taken her away.
I crouch abover her
With feeling of sorry like no other.

The hatred fills inside me.
For it is my 18th birthday
And it was suppossed to be a surprise.
For I was to return to my birth place

Since of the year I had ventured into this world.

I had never truely met her
For I am an alien
To the United States
And a true citizen

To the Republic of Korea.

I was left as an infant
Ready to fend for myself
But was taken in
and adopted by a spouse.

I promised myself
deep down within
That I would return
To avenge my sin

I tried to find
The father my birth
The true man
Who left my mother in the dust

I searched for years and years
With no prevail
But I could not give up
I could not give up.

I held her hand
As she was put to the coffen.
Holding back my sorrow;
For it died with her.

She was lowered into the darkness
Of the night.
unable to speak
A word of goodbye.

And I look in the sky
I see the light coming down
I now know the truth
I knew it all along.
