The Favourite Child

Write a story or poem centered around this theme.

The Stolen Spot

She always gets more

That child sitting on the floor

You liked how prestige she was

And always gave her hugs


Can’t you see me in need

You give her more than the house can feed

Your new object of attraction

She always gets the camera action


Can I pick where we go next

This trip should lighten my chest

This breath of fresh air must be my award

Then why am I at home trying to not get bored


I want the role that I never got

All she’s good for is sitting around in socks

Can’t you pick me, just this time

This favoritism has got to be a crime


She’s always bad, never good

Why do I get misunderstood

Please listen to my case

Instead of just yelling in my face


She’s the one you adore

I get why you never visit my door

It’s okay, I understand

Next time I’ll just follow your command
