First fic of mine to be posted online, not to mention first poem.
Why is it that you can't see me?
Though I'm standing before you here,
Am I really so invisible,
To you, oh father dear?
I did what was asked of me,
I did what I was told,
But it all went unnoticed,
in shadow of my brother, bold.
Even papa liked him better,
Both assured and exuberant,
Would you have loved me more,
If I was as confident?
Even after he betrayed you,
Still, you favoured him,
While I stood behind you,
He led you out onto a limb.
Still, I keep up a façade
And try to smile some pretty smiles,
But why aren't you proud,
When I use meters instead of miles?
I know it's not much, but please review!
