You should have aborted me
As I lay silent in your womb.
You should have carved me from your insides
Because what am I 21 years later?
Take me in, gaze at me forever and see
That you hold little pride for this disgrace.
Sure, Michelle turned out fascinating,
And John is pure brilliance,
But I am a spike in your eye.
You tell everyone my secrets,
The ones I confided in you at a moment of secrecy.
That was when I thought you could be trusted,
But how farce was that?
You should have never had me.
You should have gone from Michelle to John,
Then there would have been no room for failure.
You would have two perfect kids,
There wouldn't be anyone like me
To dampen your day.
You have never meant what you said.
When you say you like me the way I am,
Then weeks later tell me I am flawed.
You always find unsubtle ways
To let me know I am a disappointment to you,
An eyesore.
You once told me I should drop out of college,
You told me to change,
You told me to be more interesting,
You told me I was lazy and
I was willing to own up to that one,
You told me you hated me,
You told me I was worthless,
You told me to lose weight after you said
You didn't care how I looked,
You told me I was spineless,
You told me I was stupid,
You told me you were disappointed in me,
