My thoughts tend to form like poems, so I figured I'd share them- part of me hoping they make sense to more than just myself.

You Can't Choose Family

This isnt healthy.

I don't feel okay around you.

You hurt me

Then laugh.

Like you didn't do anything.

And I try.

Desperately

To close the gap.

I'm pleasant.

Polite even.

And you respond with

Hurtful words

And rude glances.

And you don't understand.

Because if you were anyone else

I would no longer speak to you.

I'd cut you off.

End the relationship.

But you can't choose family.

This is toxic.

It isn't good for me.

I can't go on like this.

It isn't fair.

Not to me at least.
