Nobody Respects What I Want

How hard is it to let things go? 

Why can't you accept I want to do my own thing? 

I want to do what makes me happy

It's so frustrating being back 'home'

It doesn't feel like home anymore

I've been here for a few weeks

It feels good to be back, 

But it's not the same

I'm going back to how I felt in high school

Before I went to college

It's not great

It's not good

I'm not feeling 100%

I've gone back to being

Depressed, insecure, low self-esteem

Feeling so bad about myself

That I'm going back into old eating habits

Where I skip breakfast and lunch

Feeling so bad about myself 

That I'm not motivated to do anything

I always have been mentally unwell at 'home'

Always the therapy friend

Always hiding my feelings

Being 'home' is not great

They're always, always

Saying horrible things 

About my boyfriend to my face

Even though I let them know I don't like it, 

They don't care about my feelings or him


That's what hurts

They don't take my feelings, 

My feelings into consideration

I am so done with their bullshit

I can't take it anymore

I'm sick and tired of it

Me telling how I feel about them 

Badmouthing my boyfriend

They have no respect for me or him

They have to eventually,

Eventually accept I chose my boyfriend

I choose to love him

And have him as my partner in life

The lack of respect for me and him

Irritates me to no end 

Also my mother of all people, 

Trying to get in my head wanting me 

Me! to breakup with him

It won't happen because we have been 

Through so much together
