Favorite Child
Blessings be to the favorite child
Who snatches the joy
And relentlessly leaves me within the crowd
Curses my birth Smiles with grace
And yet may hatred hide
As if good and evil couldn't ever collide
Pulls me down whenever the horrid event isn't in view
But when visible they say in a false sympathetic voice, "I love all of you."
Hugging the woman who breeds
As they both collaboratively laugh at my emotional needs
Of my past they mock
Leaving me to be distraught
As I am Rembrandt of all the demons I've fought
Eying me with eyes that plague the soul
Very mention ate of me in ugly ways
Yet they show no mercy
Shameful of me as if they were expectant
Of a opinion-less young lady who bows to all with a greeting curtsy
Killing me with all the verbal usage
Despite my crying
It's very futile for me to keep trying
Imploring the worst, thinking of me the least
I can't look into your eyes
And make conversation when we feast
Cliches about me are of plenty, all I have mostly heard
But when you say them it hurts each and every single word
Confusion has a toll on you even at your age
One moment your happy with me
And the next you have rage
I can't decipher your supposed love for me
With the mirror it's crystal clear but with you I don't see
The life I wish to live can only be summoned within what I've dreamed
And come to life once you and I have been redeemed
My life seems to be troubled, confused, and mild
Yet you cling to him, your favorite child
