Acceptance is common

In school

You feel included

Happy, even

At home

It's a different story 

Because what do you do

When the people

That are supposed to love you

Be there for you

"No matter what."

"You can tell us anything."

I told you

You hated me for it 

How can you hate

Your own blood?

What is so wrong

With who I am

That you of all people

Treat me like dirt?

Enough to say

You wish I were dead?

"Useless ."

"Just kill yourself already."

"I wish you were never born."

Every word

Sharpens the blade 

Of self hatred

Replacing the hope

That once kindled inside
