The unimportant soul

I don't like being pushed aside
My parents tell me 'be nice to your sister, she isn't in a good state of mind'
But what about me...
Did you notice how I don't talk abt my feelings
And how I am the daughter who does everything just for an ounce of validation?
I'm clearly just an extra
My sister with the rare name
And me with the basic name
That I should watch what I say cuz she's stressed
Well I'm stressed too
Stressed by the burden of not being good enough

- The unimportant youngest daughter
