his baby daughter
tossed aside like a rag doll
dad wanted a son
my mother told him
that I was ‘the next best thing’
at least she loved me!
always second best
but useful with garden chores
I can milk a goat!
unwanted... unloved
no father daughter closeness
I do not miss him
since he passed away
I have flourished with my words
but I’ll never grieve
