Am I Yours?

Many a men say

I take after you

But you don't seem to agree

To you

I'm just another disappointment

Another daughter you wish was a son

But I wasn't born with hanging parts

I still try, though

To make up for the loss

Although most of the time

I'm not even sure what the loss is though

Maybe my efforts are futile

You keep telling others you have no hope in me

Even though they keep telling you that I am your only hope

Possibly

Whatever they say

Whatever you think

Know that I still have hope

That one day

You will see

That I'm the only light that shines

In the deep dark tunnel

Of your life.
