Only Daughter

Trapped in side
my family's lies
why didn't they tell me about 
this disguise

I am not their kid
I never was 
they were my parents 
just because

they found me
on the street 
as a baby
with such little feet

my mother died 
giving birth
some say it was
like a curse

they are in touch
with my father
because I'm his
only daughter
