Why dont you care
All I've done for you was stay by your side and care
The way you keep your eyes open and stare at the subtle blank wall if that even sounds fair
The only thing I don't get is that you ask for forgiveness and respect
but the only thing you do is dwell on the fact that the label you were given gives you the right to neglect
The fact that as a teen I cannot explain how I feel that adulthood already does not appeal because
Even now I continue to be told that I am not allowed to have a voice and feel
How much frustration I have hurts more than the burning sensation of my eyes of two straight hours of crying
Knowing the fact that you do not care
Growing up hearing the stupid excuse that "I need to fix me" does not fix the fact that I feel so alone when you care too much about helping yourself
When I have the automatic fear that I will grow up having to heal your mistake
I feel like I'm drowning in the hell that I have created by the unheard of faces that you see
Which magically effects me because you choose to leave than to physically come to the
Conclusion that what you see is pure bullshit to me that you'd pick off the lemon tree
Which loses its seeds every time you decide the wrong path of life you lead
Why cant you tell them to go away and spend my last years okay
I may sound greedy but all I asked was for you to be there for me
But you say there is no choice that you cannot stay
But do not get angry when I say good luck for wasting your life away doing nothing and adding stress
Not being able to tell me if I'm good enough for you to choose me over the second family
You seemed to create on your own but my sister and I cannot wait for your shit together on your own
To learn and grow but by the time you know
Were gone
When you cannot get up to spend time or have the ambition to put a real dinner on the table
Because you are too weak to get your head out of the hole you dug for yourself like an even simpler drug
So when being an adult doesn't seem to shout as being a fun trait you go in your room and dedicate
Your life to the blank wall with your eyes wide open
But hidden to the fact that when you get that way I just want to bawl
The pain the stomach makes me want to crawl
Hoping I can get out of the hole you pulled me into
I need to find another way to find acceptance this way
I am sorry this poem could not be put away for another day
Because right now all I feel is hurt
