Orphan

You adopted me
I thank you much
But what you don't know
I'm wicked evil and such
You think I'm an eight year old girl
But in reality I'm 33
I suffer a rare form of dwarfism
So what I really am you don't see
I killed the last family who adopted me
The husband didn't want me sexually
But he couldn't understand
I'm not eight
I'm 33
I killed a nun
I have killed your husband too
Now I almost killed your son
I almost killed your daughter too
But you stopped me
Kicked me in the head
Now I'm drowned at the bottom of this lake
Here I lay dead
But still I'm thankful for you adopting me
The eight year old girl who was 33

About this poem:

Just got done watching the movie Orphan. I'm adopted, so it really was good. I was a good adopted child, really I was!

niah9, thanks for your comment on my poem. It was my favorite movie for the Halloween season. Now I'm well into Thanksgiving and Christmas mode.

Word orphan, this very lonely word. Let in our life there will be no orphans.
I am an Orphan of a word my simple,
I am an Orphan and isn't present, at me.
My words on life expensive,
Also isn't present, Folders of the Mother at me.
