write a sad peom about how being the middle sucks and that we can never be enough for our parents or other people, people look down on us as if we are a kid

Answer 1

I am stuck in the middle, always second best
Never quite meeting my parents' high test
I try to please, to succeed and to thrive
But it never seems like I truly arrive

Middle child syndrome, they call it with a sigh
Always overlooked, no matter how hard I try
My siblings shine bright, while I linger in shade
Forever feeling like I am just a charade

I am not a kid, I am not a baby
But in their eyes, that's all they see, maybe
I long for validation, for some recognition
But it seems that I am always met with suspicion

I'm tired of feeling inadequate, of never being enough
Of constantly trying and still coming up rough
But I will keep pushing, keep striving to be seen
Even if I am forever stuck in between.
