Before I was born, My mother wanted to name her child Kaitlyn As the firstborn, That should have been me Kaitlyn was my mother's favorite name But as soon as I was born She looked at me I just took one look And realized, I could never be her Kaitlyn Three years later she tried again Now her Kaitlyn was born A beautiful, Happy, Innocent little girl. My mother calls me "The trouble child" I cause trouble I am not good enough I am not her Kaitlyn Now I am named Nicole My mother wanted her child to be Kaitlyn She loved the name Kaitlyn Was I not good enough? Why was I not her Kaitlyn?

Was I Not Good Enough?
Before I was born, My mother wanted to name her child Kaitlyn As the firstborn, That should have been me Kaitlyn was my mother's favorite name But as soon as I was born She looked at me I just took one look And realized, I could never be her Kaitlyn Three years later she tried again Now her Kaitlyn was born A beautiful, Happy, Innocent little girl. My mother calls me "The trouble child" I cause trouble I am not good enough I am not her Kaitlyn Now I am named Nicole My mother wanted her child to be Kaitlyn She loved the name Kaitlyn Was I not good enough? Why was I not her Kaitlyn?
This affects me more than it probably should...
