Why Mom?
Why do you compare me?
To the other children,
To my sibling?
Don't you understand, Mom?
I don't want to be them.
I am me.
I will always be me.
You will never understand, Mom.
You won't take the time to understand.
You won't know me.
I am who I need to be.

Why Mom?
Why do you compare me?

I don't want to be them.
I am me.
I will always be me.
You will never understand, Mom.
You won't take the time to understand.
You won't know me.
I am who I need to be.
