I was born into a burning house with parents who pretended like there wasn't a fire. With parents who acted like everything was fine. With parents who made it seem like I was the crazy one like I was the one with problems like I didn't get them from them. Of course, I'm angry I'm angry that I'm the only one who can see the fire who can see how bad it is. I'm angry that I don't get any sympathy or acknowledgement for all of what I've been through. I'm angry at my parents for putting me into a burning house I didn't choose to be in this burning house but there's no escaping it.
