Misty Thomason Poet I do not know?

Who Are You?

You say you are afraid 
The guys you date will find you unattractive 
But yet you attract them with the shortest skirts you can find 
And when you go dancing, your skirt sways around like a merry-go-round leaving 
nothing to the imagination 
Maybe it's time to grow up 
Find a man not a boy 

You say if they found out how old you really were 
Those guys would not like you 
Well how do you feel about me Mom? 
You tell everyone I am your sister 

Are you ashamed of who I am? 
Of how I came to be? 
It happened over thirty years ago, that violent act 
Of which I was the result 
I am yours, 
And I will not go away. 

Do you not realize the pain you put me through 
When you introduce me as your sister 
I feel like screaming, "I AM HER DAUGHTER!". 
So which is it? Are you my mother? 
Or are you my sister
