The Experiment

I am the first

 

The first is the experiment

The one to test

To see if it's good enough

But if it fails

Then it is cast aside

And the creators

Try again

 

The second child is the golden one

The one who you do

Everything opposite

Of what you did to the first

This time

The creators make sure

Not to make the same mistakes

 

The children after that are accidentals

Regrets

The ones the creators

Didn't think they needed protection from

The ones no one takes seriously

 

Some say it is an honor

Or some kind of trophy

To be the first

But it is anything but

The creators ignore you

Reject you

In favor of the one

They always meant to have

The second

 

I am the experiment

I am the first

My parents treat me exactly like how I wrote in the poem. They care about my younder brother a lot more than they do me.
