I have grown up

I have grown up 
with my mother’s hatred 
and my father’s disgust. 
I have grown up 
In the shadow of my brother 
Who couldn’t be anything but perfect.
I have grown up 
like a stray
I have grown up
I have survived. 
I have grown up
I am alive.
Broken, bleeding and hurt
I have grown up.
Against all odds 
I have grown up.
