i share birthdays with my mom

i am so much of my mother’s daughter

im as unlovable as her

i share houses with my dad

he’s the worst person alive, and i’m his only daughter

i am so much like my grandfather

so much so we refuse to admit it the resemblance

i was everything to my grandmother

then i let her down like an anchor

all the while pushing myself further

erasing is so much more cruel than murder

i am those who they adore

as i left them to wonder upon the beauty i’ve been granted with

my mother is a runner

my father is a sinner

and i am their only daughter
