Father, Mother and Violet all have wispy brown hair
I do not
Violet has a bee-stung mouth just like Mother
I do not
Violet's eyes are just like Father's: green and glittering
Mine are near black and dull
Mother is curvy
Father used to be a model, they say
Violet is skinny
I am fat
I have a belly
Violet's legs are muscled and tanned
Mine flatten out to the size of Asia when I sit down
Their fingers are long and slender
Mine are short and chubby
The only similarity between Violet and I
Is that we both have round faces
Violet hates the shape of her face
Says that she will alter it when she becomes a millionaire
Until it looks
Perfect
Sometimes
I wonder
If my family had swapped me with another baby in the hospital
Maybe I am a Princess
My people will love me
Praise me
I will be appreciated
I will be remembered
I imagine the baby
All alone in the hospital
Crying
Crying
Until someone comes to take her away
And she grows up
Not remembering anything
I picture her wispy brown hair
Bee-stung mouth
Green glittering eyes
Perfect body figure
Tanned muscled legs
Long slender fingers
And the round face that Violet disgusts
A perfect human being
More fit to be in my family
Than
I am.
