Forgotten Child


Am I invisible? 

Or am I not important enough to see?

I wish to speak with you,but understand that you're busy. 

I see you spend time with my older sisters

I watch you teach my younger sister.

But it is never me.

I ask for a few dollars to get a few things, but you say you can't.

But I see the next day, you come home with "just because gifts" for everyone but me. 

I put on a face that no can read, but the moment the door close, it breaks.

I work so I don't have to ask, and so I can stay away. 

But sadly you're too busy with the others to notice. 

So again, I ask for a few minutes of your time, unless I have to schedule it first. 

I have been told to do some crazy stunt to get you to see

But I want you to see my achievements, not downfalls. 

So I ask again...Am I invisble or am I not importanr enough to see?
