I AM A STRANGER ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN.

I am a stranger on the outside looking in.  They stayed together, and I was taken away.  I loved them the very best that I could, but even so I was taken away.  I cried for days and fear abounded at night. What did I do that was so bad that I was taken away? They were good and got to stay together.  I hear that growing up was hard for them, but they stayed together. I was alone living with strangers.  We are adults now, and yet I feel as though I am a stranger on the outside looking in on my brother and sister. They stayed together even when years passed without a word between them. I do not know all the pain that they went through, but they stayed together. They do not know the pain that I went through all alone. Before they came and took us away, I tried my very best to keep the monsters at bay. I do not think they know about all the monsters that lived under our bed.  All I want is to feel like I am a sister and not a stranger. I wonder at times if it is just another monster that has crawled from under the bed and into my head.
