Don't you ever think about how
our family is so broken
and come to the conclusion
that you failed us somehow?
I know you do
that's why you fight me so much
You want to protect yourself
from feeling like a failure
although you've already given up
I never want to utter a single word again
in your presence
but I can't go against my essence
I'll keep handing you petal after petal
that I plucked so carefully
and you'll throw them
into the dark, brooding sea
