This is a part of me

Living like me hasn’t been easy 
living in an RV for 9 years wasn’t very pleasing.
Growing up as the fat middle child made me become a ghost, an outsider.
Being compared by my sister made me feel like I had to become her 
but I won't let society come between us cause she's my sister. 
Having a father look down on me cause I was fat and wasn't healthy,
why couldn’t he just love and hug me?
So much emotions, 
Im sorry but imagine a life where I can’t be free 
Now i’m 24 and I have more clarity with who i am and who I want to be. 
We all have it hard but how can one love her self when she saw
the ugly sibling, 
the odd ball. 
But I know i'll be okay since I have god and maturity,
I hope someone can love me for who I am and what I have inside of me.
