Stolen Empathy

Why weren't you there when I wasn't aware?

Now I have to grow up with this clouded burden constantly on me.

Are you even aware?

When I tell you take it personally

like its all about

me me me.

Well I'm tired and frustrated about not taken seriously.

Your so selfish

but call it empathy.

Now you say I'm lying.

Call me a liar.

Say you did everything for me

when we both know its not true.

Author's note - Again I think I wrote this around the same time as the last one so like 15 ish. This one is about my mom and honestly looking back I don't blame her she was dealing with everything she could and tried supporting me in the way she thought was right but ended up hurting me instead. I honestly think it happens in a lot if not all relationships tbh where we want to help but we kinda mess it up more so please note that your parents are human too and they probably do love you they just mess things up sometimes that really hurts. Hopefully you can learn to forgive them and have a conversation with them like I did with mine.
