I'm the invisible daughter, Forgotten right down to the core. The bane of my parent's existence; The bad apple fallen from their Tree of Life.
I only exist when I'm in trouble. But I wonder, What do they see when they're yelling at me? Do they see my mistake? Or theirs?
I watch my father with his other daughter, The perfect doting dad. I flashback to my childhood and the love I never had. I pray for my sister, Pray that this last forever, and that she never know him as I did.
I watch my mother from afar, The distance between us insurmountable, though in the same house. I pray for my sisters, that they never see her as I had.
I'm their disappointment, Their failure, Though still I remain, The Invisible Daughter.
