Dear Mom,
Am I not enough? I try so hard but it's like you don't see me. You either ignore all the good things I've done, whether it may be a good grade, an achievement. You don't see it. Yet how come when he does the most mundane things, he gets the attention. I only seem to get yours when you see my faults.
In your mind I'm your imperfect child. The one who doesn't deserve praise because in your eyes I'm only mediocre. My best will never be enough yet you expect so much from me where it's overbearing and I can't do it. And if you see that I can't, you criticize me.
Why is it that you only see me when I do something wrong, but when I do something right you overlook it. But when it comes to him you praise him like he found the cure for cancer.
Even when I'm sick, you're also not there to take care of me. You leave me alone in the hospital room to fend for myself and only come to bring me food and then leave again. But when it's him you're always present. You sit beside his bed caressing his hair, you feed him and whisper sweet nothings that he's going to be alright and he'll recover. Why won't you do that with me too?
Why can't you love me, the way you love him? Why can't you see me during my best? And most of all, why can't you be a mom to me like you are with him?
Love,
You're forgotten daughter
