Im a child of five
The age gap between us feels lonely
Like we are swimming in a pool and I dive
Down to the bottom where no one can hear me
Being different from the rest, it sucks
From feeling uncomfortable at my hometown parties to not feeling like anyone’s number one
When I open up to friends they say “aw shucks”
They try to make me feel better with compliments I don’t apply due to low self-esteem
From day one to twenty years old
Loneliness consumes me in a way physical touch cannot
It feels cold
Is the root of my problems because I was born a middle child?
