Do You Care To Know My Name?

No one knows my name
I’m known as “their older sister”
You feel such pity for me
Yet you don’t care to know my name

The “uglier” sister
The “odd” sister
The “other” sister
Yet you don’t care to know my name

I’m tired of being the other sister
I’m tired of not being acknowledged
I just want to be seen
I want you to know my name
