I am your child
I am your child
Yet
To you I am nothing
I am your daughter
But I don’t exist
Your plans, hopes and dreams
Do not include me
You don’t see me
Hear me
Love me
Your mirror image
Your polar opposite
Your cloying shadow seeking scraps
Your toilet paper
A distant echo that sounds familiar
Easily dismissed
Forgotten
Accolades by extension
By the ghost
By the child you never had
By me.
