"You don't obey what I say anymore."
Of course, I would not!
This might seem rude or rebellious,
but over the years I have learnt my lesson the hard way.
I have always obeyed what you said,
and that has only done me more damage.
I know that you will never have bad intentions,
but I need you to understand that you too can be wrong sometimes.
"There's nothing wrong in asking for help."
I know that, I just need to make myself learn to ask for help.
Cause everytime I ever came to you,
you made me feel weak, like I was a burden,
like I was a little brat causing you trouble.
And now, you expect me to ask for help without overthinking it?
"Why are you wearing your earphones? Don't you want to include us?"
I always wanted you to be included,
but you never appreciated or respected my differences.
You made me feel like I was at fault for being different,
for having views and opinions that didn't align with that of yours.
"You never share anything with me."
Yeah I don't.
Because every time I shared something,
you said I was wrong without even trying to understand my point of view.
You guilt trip me for doing something right for myself, always.
