"Girlbaby"
My name is Girlbaby
And I'm your second child,
But your first baby girl.
I have your eyes,
My mother's nose,
and hair all my own.
My name is Zo
And I'm five years old,
Daddy's little girl.
I have your strength,
My mother's kindness,
and a sense of humor all my own.
My name is Zoey
And I'm eleven,
You have let me down.
I have your temper,
My mother's rationality,
And I've learned to hold my own.
My name is Zarriah
And I am seventeen,
I will be my own person.
I have my own mind,
My own life,
and I will be better than you.
My name is Zarriah Renee
And I'm looking at my future.
I have you, who loves me,
But lives on the fine line of a father and a stranger of hate,
With a mother who gives her world to protect me from the latter.
And I love the both of you.
My name is Zarriah Renee Oliver
I have a father who loves me,
But cannot control the part of him that doesn't.
I have a mother who loves me,
She tries to keep me from making her mistakes.
And from the two of them, I have learned the type of person I will be.
