Golden boy

Same parents, same neighborhood
Yet an entirely different childhood

He was showered with care and love
Something I've never known of
Affectionate words and jokes thrown around..

I was degraded and shunned
his shadow I'll always be..
When we are together It is him alone you'll see

I'll just be standing in the background
We both got A's but he alone was praised

Is it because he's older?
Your lovely second born?
Why must I receive your cold shoulder?

Why can't you laugh and share a  joke with me?
Why was I born to sweep for you?
Because I am just a mere girl?

After receiving the son you always wanted
You neglected the girls you never wanted..

Dear mother
Can't you see me and not just my brother?
Am I really only a bother?..

Why did you decide for him to be golden and I broken..?
