Why did my Mother have to leave me?
I will never know the reasons she had to die after I was born...
wonder if her arms had the chance to hold me and was my tiny face one
of the last things she got to see?
How come I had to be adopted by my uncle and aunt?
And, my big sister, really cousin, her beauty was insulting to me.
Maybe she didn't mean to, but it hurt so much, her shyness made it
even easier for her to flaunt.
I never fit in anywhere in my whole life, searched for love but never
seemed to find it.
Tried so hard, thought men would love me if I gave them children and
became their wife.
Memories of a night some twenty years ago haunt me still, the visions
of the one man who took my heart, unable to let go after all this
time.
No one and nothing can compare to him and don't think anything or
anyone ever will.

This is about a life lived, loved, and lost... and there is just so much to be read between the lines of your poem too... I especially loved this line,
"I never fit in anywhere in my whole life, searched for love but never seemed to find it."
I hope you are better now, and that no matter what happens, you don't give up on life and..yourself. And that man? I'm so sorry to hear that "No one and nothing can compare to him", but you gotta let go.
Perhaps you might want to read this poem- it's so full of hope amidst pain and I think that it might reach you at the place where you're at now.
