Sure you've held a roof over my head.
Put food on the table.
But where's the bond we used to have.
We used to talk.
You blame it on me "just being a teenager"
You always say how you miss when I was younger and I'd run out of my room to see you. That stopped 4 years ago Because I wanted to see if you'd come see me.
You never did.
So 4 years and I still wait for you to come into my room to even check on me.
I now come out and sit on the couch to see if you talk to me.
You ignore my existence and don't even know I'm there.
So eventually I go into my room.
When we're in the car alone together.
You ask what's new with my hair when nothing has changed my hair has been the same for the past 7 months.
But you don't bother to notice the scars on my wrist and how I'm trying not to cry.
I show you my report card you asked to see.
When you see the C you tell me I could have tried harder. When I had tried my hardest to bring it from a F to that C in hopes I didn't fail and get kicked out of honors and still keep you proud .
But a C is the highest I could get it.
You don't notice how I take one bite of food and say I'm full
Don't notice how I barely eat except for when you force me to because it's "rude"
Or how when my mom moved out and I felt like I lost her so I filled the hole with food in order to feel happier.
But how since 6th grade I would not eat at all and hope you wouldn't notice hoping a couple glasses of water would be enough.
Or how I had just been crying for 20 while minutes and my eyes are puffy and my face is red but you didn't notice that either.
When will you notice ?
