Not a premature baby
But as tiny as a kitten
Incubated for the first few hours of existence
And told that might be dying.
Those mentioned before just added
To the reasons you dislike me
Aside from the fact that I'm a girl
And you have always wanted a boy for your firstborn.
I remembered the line from the movie 'Noah'
When Ila asked him why he spared the twins
And he said,"I looked down at those two little girls
and all I had in my heart was love."
And wondered if you haven't seen that kind of love
When you looked down on me.
'Cause you held me in your arms
Without gentleness
Like I'm not vulnerable
Like I'm not from your own flesh and blood.
As I'm growing into my skin
The more I crave for your attention
For your affection
But I got nothing.
And as the day passed by
The more you made me feel how unwanted I am.

This is the first part of my "four-part" poem for my Dad. Just to burst this thoughts that right until now I never dare told him. I know that I'm not the only one who undergone this kind of situations so I hope you can relate to it. I hardly make it rhyme but I hope this gonna make sense...
