You're selfish!
You need to act as if you're in a family unit!
You need to do as you're told!
Look at ME!
Listen to ME!
You don't do the dishes
Or throw the trash
You need to clean the house
You're home more then I am!
But I am not Selfish...
I love for you and my little sister...
I'm sorry if sometimes I want to be a person...
Does that make me selfish?
Why must you be in control always?
You don't live for us!
Don't lie to yourself
You go for bike rides and walks
You draw and paint!
... I draw and paint so I don't burst.
I write poetry to get through stuff...
I can't even talk to you about love.
I spend all my money that I earn or make to you and lil sis...
And yet I'm selfish and have a life...
This hurts.
It drives me back to cutting.
I'm ready to give up on life.
What are going to do!
Run away so that I can't carry you as a burden?
No...
Where would I go?
Why should I go?
Doo you want me to?
No,
I am just going through something
And I don't want your help.
Leaves room and stands next to the door way next to mothers room and cries cause so much stress And all the yelling... Getting frustrated and angry and sad. She just keeps yelling and pointing at me with her finger as if I'm the wrong one.... This hurts. Even when I tried to stop the fight... It kept going... I want to give up now. And after a fight she always wants to say I love you... As if it will make me feel better... It just makes me feel sick and I have to lie and say I love you cause at that moment of time... I don't love her...
