love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

second daughter

you don't see much in me - never did.
i'm the daughter you bore to
keep the first one company,
keep her happy.

grew up wanting to be like her,
the perfect offspring.
brilliant with all your
chem and math genes, the
smile of a model,
the eyes of your youth.

but i guess i've always been
your greatest disappointment.
maybe embarrassment?

and maybe if i curl up small enough,
you won't see me, won't see my flaws,
my lack of resolve.

maybe if i hide away you
won't see i'm alive.
in my mind's eye, someone
holds me, someone
loves me.

but dreams don't come true.

yours truly
