Growing up in a house
But it's not a home
I live with my parents and sistersBut we are not a family
I don't feel connected to them emotionally
They abused me; us
Only thing I learned is that I'm not enoughGrowing up in a house
Not a home
So I learned how to hide my feelings
My pain
MyselfI did everything to be under the radar
But still I got blamed for my weight
Nobody will love me if I'm not skinny like my mother
Or my sisterLove comes with conditions
It's not freeI was always the good child
The easy one
Nothing to worry about
Cause I got it allI was there
Always
Even though I was a child
I got itI had to have it all together
There was no space for me
It felt like I'm the burden no one can carry
That my feelings don't matter
Thats what I learned
