Am I

Am I a mistake?
Something that wasn’t meant to happen,

Is that why I’m ignored,
Each day and each night,

While a sister scores all the glory,

I cry myself to sleep knowing,
I can never be like her, or

If I ever am, it’s still not good enough,
Not meant to be, not meant to exist,

If I died, no one would realize,
I’m gone.
