The Favourite Child
Write a story or poem centered around this theme.
i, the unfavorite daughter
A daughter who earns unconditional love
On one condition
Prefer my sister above myself
All good, all fine, but not for me
There are no rules
But she is the rule maker
It seems all Earth revolves around her
And Heaven, too
She gets what she wants, it’s what she deserves
I ask for a specialty; now I’m selfish
Angels clothe her
Devils are my company
I wonder at why she’s glorified by them
My kin
The ones who birthed me first
I suppose that’s just the way it is
You are not loved
Unless you love the second
“The first shall be last and the last shall be first”
True statement
I’ve lived with it all of my life
Am I the only one who’s experienced it?
First hand
But no more, I’m needed to sit at her feet
