The Favorite Child 2
Shut up!
I hear that a lot
Am I just not worth listening to?
I’m forgotten
My parents aren’t focused on me anymore
They don’t listen to me anymore
If I forget,
I’m not a good child at all
If he forgets,
It’s fine because he’s trying his best
I’m fussed at for simple things
Always on the phone?
So is he when he has his
Listening to music?
He doesn’t want to hear it,
So I can’t listen to what I love
I wrote about this in my diary,
For it to never be read
And kept secret
He stole it
And never got in trouble
I did
For my own thoughts
I wrote how my parents hurt me
They punished me
To show how rude they could be
I don’t write in a diary anymore
I tried to journal
With thoughts are feelings
But I’m scared
they’ll find it and read it
And punish me again
I’ve told this to my friends
They said its messed up
And didn’t focus on it much longer
They tell me to write in a diary
But no,
I WILL NOT
Because I don’t want to g at punished
For my thoughts
And my feelings
There’s no privacy
In my house
None at all
But yet,
They’re too lazy to read
The poems
And storys
I pour my heart and soul into
I’m trama dumping On this app
And they don’t see it
Thats amazing
They always want me to talk to them
HA!
Like I will ever do that
They tell me how much he talks
And says they want me to open up
Like him
I told my parents I wanted A’s and B’s this year
They said ‘No, only A’s’
and I couldn’t say anything else
My brother said he wanted
A’s B’s and he’s going to try not to get a C
My parents said that was a great goal for him
He says I don’t deserve what I have and get
I hate that theres always one voice
That agrees with him
I guess they don’t like me enough
Don’t want me enough
I guess I’m not the favorite for them
