Picture of my daddy
Asleep at my birth
In his chair
I am not important
I merely exist
Nothing special
No different
Empty swing swaying
Lonely dolls upon my bed
Plate aside
Party hats in cellophane
Poppers sitting
Waiting for the string to be pulled
Nobody cares
Nobody knows
Dinner under the bed
In the wardrobe, drawers or bag
Hidden in the bins at school
Starving at seven
Never good
Neither bad
