I feel sad about how things have went,

With you and all your children.

I feel hurt about some things you said,

But that's all in the past.

I feel depressed about the fact,

I've shed so many tears.

I feel guilty for not trying harder,

When i was a wee child.

I feel in despair about the life,

I could have had.

I feel vulnerable when i let you in,

Waiting to get hurt again.

I felt lonely all those nights,

When i needed you the most.

I feel inferior to your other children,

Never feeling good enough,

Never feeling wanted.

My life would feel empty,

Like you didn't want a daughter.

I feel remorse for all the love that was lost,

Getting it back hasn't been easy.

I feel ashamed for giving up,

All those years ago.

I feel powerless when i try,

The power is in your hands,

But you never take the leap.

I fear grief pulled you away from us,

When you lost your father.

I feel as fragile as a vase,

One crack and i will break.

I feel abandoned by the family,

Victimised and left out for always being ill.

I isolate myself away because it's easier that way,

Than to tell you how i'm feeling,

That won't take the sadness away.
