Instead

Instead, can I have a sister?

Where they argue and fight

Where the opinions were neither

Wrong or right

But no, you’re always good

Innocent, the victim

You didn’t spill blood

Like if a dog barks “i never bit them”

When the girl is crying

And her finger is red

But the parents are buying

All the dog said

Instead, can I have a mom?

Where they listen 

And can be wrong

And theyre never too busy

To talk and help 

Where its mom not mother

And it understand not yell

And i’m never a bother

Will i ever be good

And not doing something wrong?

When im the girl “i should”

When i never crack in my song

Instead, can I have a friend?

Where I never doubt

And the thought never bends

And they’re never on a mount

Above me

Better than I

But they’re always better, see?

‘Cause they have things that aren’t mine

Instead, can I have a life?

@helperAve

Your poem speaks to me of being left out.

Not having your own possessions.

Being overlooked.

A tone of wanting.

Unsettlement.

Sadness.
