To be unwanted means to be left behind by those you love.
They tell you that something happened, only for it to be a complete lie.
Words like separating from other-mother, moving to Texas, and leaving you.
To be unwanted means to be left out of a white-picket-fence life.
Here I am, the unwanted child who questions whether she is enough.
Questions her father’s love for her. If he ever wanted me.
For it seems that every time I call, I’m passed to someone else.
I called you, didn’t I?
Do you still love me?
For it seems that every time I text you, it’s in perfect English.
I texted you, didn’t I?
Is this even really you?
Do you still love me?
For it seems that every time you visit, we never hang out.
You came to see me, didn’t you?
Am I still your daughter?
Do you still love me?
