Second Hand Daughter

L.C. McQuillen

The problem was
You only tried to find me
In places that I’d already been  
Collecting pieces of my shed skin
to prove  
That you know who I am
Always chasing me down  
With past versions of myself  
A second hand daughter  
Rummaged up only through thrifted stories  
I’m not composed of anymore
