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
