[bodytext] =>
I’m sorry that I gave up,
I’m sure your new child will never give up.
I’m sorry that I’m fat,
I’m sure your new daughter won’t look like that.
I’m sorry that I quit,
I’m sure your new child will stick to it.
I’m sorry that I get bad grades,
I’m sure your new son will receive straight A’s.
I’m sorry that I’m not beautiful like you,
I’m sure your new child won’t be ugly too.
I’m sorry for being a horrible sister,
I’m sure your new son will be a well-behaved Mr.
I’m sorry that I said I loved you,
I’m sure your new kid will be better at that too.
I’m sorry for everything I’ve said,
I’m sure your new daughter won’t wish to be dead.
You know that one saying?
“Forgive and Forget”
Well, I’m glad its so easy for you
To forget that I live,
I just kind of hoped you might also forgive…

| Another way to look at it is, you'll have a brother or sister. You will always have someone. don't be so selfish. This poem says "I'm sorry" alot, but it is a well written lament. |

This one caught my eye. How sad that there are young ones and old ones too that feel that a second child can EVER replace the first. First is special regardless .No one can take that from you.
And it's God wish and yours too, way deep down, that when Your flower Blooms and all flowers come from lowly kinda homely buds.. You will be as or even More beautuiful inside and out and others Will see it too.

nice poem, i kinda know how u feel too.im not the first child, and my parents arent divorced.
but im the child that never did as well as his older brother or tried as hard. im the one who is always wrong.
i know how it feels to cry yourself to sleep feeling unwanted and unloved by your own mother.
sometimes i even hate myself for not being a better person, more like him.
but remember,your true friends love you for who you are, not who they want you to be.
keep up the good work! |

| A sad, sad poem. I am not a perfect person by far, but I have learned that if you try to really communicate, sometimes the worst problems can be overcome. I wish you the best in life and also, weight and looks do not a person make. The you inside is what truly matters. |

| again, i noticed a lot of repetition in this. repetition can work for a piece or against it, it can add emphasis or just annoyance. when you repeat i'm sorry/i'm sure everytime it just lessens the effect. for instance do you pay much mind to a clumsy person that says im sorry ever 6 seconds for knocking something over? you just become accustomed to it to where you dont even notice. this had a better format than the previous one also. also, another phenomal ending. |
