Elizabeth Hernandez Poem
Deep down inside me
I’ve been hurting all this time
When I begin to believe in you
To me it feels like a crime
No matter how hard you try,
Everything you say to me
Feels just like a lie
Of what once was a family
I’m the last of the nest
Even though my name is for a queen,
I’m always second best
You stayed for her,
But not for me?
Because you weren’t so sure
So you had to flee
You ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Because you don’t know...
One thing is, you’ve missed all my birthdays
Almost five years in a row”
You say you know me
That I’m mini you
“Sorry, was your little girl,
The one you knew”
Even though to me you’re a who,
All I can say is “I love you”.
