A Daughters Pain

You don't call or text me or really even give me a time a day...

It hurts me to know that you got time for others but for me...

Then I sit here wondering if I should be the one to reach out to you...

Or I just sit around over think it wrestling with my thoughts and prayers as if things are going to be different...

I might not have grown up in your home with my siblings but I'm still your flesh and blood...

Isn't that enough to sometimes just check up on me or return any of my calls...

When I was younger I always understood that you had to take of my sister and brothers...

I just didn't understand how you could choose others over me, your first born...

Are you ashamed of me? I'm not important in your life or eyes...

I found a way to forgive you for my son's sake but that's as far as it goes cause I feel like even after all this time your shutting me out...

I hope one of these days you'll see that I am your daughter too...
