Daughter of Disgrace (Birthday Poem)

Unwanted
She was brought into this world.
On this very day,
the day her procreators never wanted to come.
The day their terrible secret would be out.
The day that would bring shame to their name.
And the shame lives on 23 years later.
The shame and disgrace that tarnished their names.
And not only their names...
Their families' names too.
If they would've had a boy,
maybe the problem would've been overlooked.
But no,
they had a premature,
weak,
frail,
unfit and undesirable
daughter.
A daughter whose life would bring
a never ending stream of shame.
Shame, embarrasment, woes and disgrace.
She was never pretty,
never popular,
never dressed "right"
never followed the beliefs her parents
tried to drill into her head,
loves men and women,
and the poor soul never wanted to change!
She was never what her family wanted her
to be.
Not even close.
The story repeated itself many years later.
But the disgraced daughter
saw things differently.
With an open heart,
and a smile on her face,
She welcomed her daughter into the world,
and she was not disgraced.

I am the disgraced daughter.
Though my family is ashamed of me,
I'm proud of the woman
that I have become.
