For the other child

I am the other child

The ok one

The sober child

The one on the sidelines

I am the observer

The one watching him slowly killing our parents

I am the angry one

The one who’s pissed because he’s destroying our family

I am the sad one

The one losing my first best friend

I am the reassuring one

The one holding momma as she cries

I am the torn one

The broken one trying to hold everyone together

I am the confused one

The one who wonders how the rest of us became so unimportant and invisible

I am the other child

The ok one
