~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dwarfed by undue comparison
the feeling of being thrown to the dungeon
to undergo mental seclusion
the treatments you get are far beyond to what they have
you look around and can differentiate the better from best
since when did you last receive a part of their best?
when was the last time you heard their praise
all the eulogies spurting to your siblings
nothing seems wrong, perfect they all dub them
what are you then? Nobody but another breathing member of the family
you sit in one corner as though you aren’t a kin
they call on them when food is served to be eaten
can’t go first you all have to wait for her or him
how many are you again in the family?
in sigh you replied, my mom my dad my two siblings and me
stuck in the middle, maybe a consolation for my folks
when my two siblings are away for a grand splurge
sometimes you wonder if you're truly a progeny
or an adopted one from a close pal or acquaintance
