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
