haven't I done enough?

haven't I supplied you with all you need?

And yet you keep taking

you keep overstepping

Do my boundaries mean nothing?

Yes, family means everything but must that be at the expense of my sanity?

the expense of my very existence?

I'm racking up a debt I can never repay.

And I feel like I have to because if I don't I am condemned to a life of damnation.

but why is it that because you are older, I am wrong and you are right?

Why must that be the case?

And when you're wrong you never apologize.

Why? why?

And when I cry the tears of a broken soul you make me feel weak.

As if I could not handle the repeated torture and that I must be a rock solid warrior all the time and you disguise your joy of my pain as "I'm only making you strong."

Strong? I was already strong I don't need to be stronger.

Because I have courage to have a loving heart I am weak? I am naïve? no I am not.

for I am brave but not foolish.
