I'd suggest someone relatable (so, a teenager) who is (or becomes) really skilled at something (without being perfect ofc) but is also flawed and may not even realize it at the beginning. They could also have a disadvantageous background like poverty or mental/physical health issues (if health issues you could also have the character discover that gradually). This would make their wins more exciting as they beat the odds
Yeah favoritism is awful, most especially when it's coming from a parent. Parents are not supposed to pick favorites. That's when comparison kills you the most.
Love the ending btw! You are totally a lot more than who you're compared to, and every child deserves love <3
Thank you for your comment. I like the ending too! :)
This is an amazing poem! Everything is phrased so perfectly, and it helps evoke the meaning. The truth in it is incredible, as is the writing.
ooooo they should be an archer or horseback rider!!!
Ikr it was so good!
This poem is magnificent! I love the concept and the way you described the feelings was perfection!

This was heartbreaking to read, but so good!
I feel like to have a longer plot like this you need a strong main character to route for…who would this be?
