Resemblance.

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.
