Nobody

 As a child I used to think I was adopted
I didn’t look like my brother
I didn’t look like my sister
My brother looked like my mother
My sister looked like my father
I looked like nobody
I looked like nobodies child

My brother was hugged more than I was
My sister was held more than I was
My brother was cared for more than I was
My sister was loved more than I was
I was forsaken like nobodies child
I was loveless like nobodies child

I was shouted at more than my sister
I got yelled at more than my brother
I got put down more than my sister
I got insulted more than my brother
I was made to feel like nobodies child
I actually felt like nobodies child

I got punched more than my sister
I got kicked more than my brother
I got slapped more than my sister
I got punched more than my brother
I got hurt like nobodies child
I cried in pain like nobodies child

I was physically abused more than my sister
I was verbally abused more than my brother
I was sexually abused more than my sister
I was mentally abused more than my brother
I was used like nobodies child
I was abused like nobodies child

My brother got used and abused
My sister got used and abused
I got used and abused, but;
Like nobodies child
I just got more

To this day I feel like a nobody
I fell like nobodies child
The opposite of Oliver Twist
I was the child
Who didn’t ask for more
But got it anyway
