I agree that this song is about an "overlooked" middle child (a girl). "Little sister" is Scott's younger sister. "Love given to the younger" means younger than her: the third child, the youngest of the three, who also received more attention, just like Scott, the oldest.
She is "bottled up" and "holding back" because she has no outlet to express herself.
"Broken father, broken brother," says she had no strong or constant parent in her father, and no steady older sibling in her brother. A girl in this situation often turns to relationships with other boys/ men outside the family to fill the gap. "Emptiness feeds the hunger" feeds her desire to find a man outside of the family because she had no good male role model, with her brother being into drugs and her father being ineffectual.
Creed is always showing compassion for weak and overlooked people. Look at the next song on the album "What's this life for?". THis is definitely about weak and broken people who live with demons that haunt them.
