i'm a
shame on the family
a disgrace to God's discipleship
a burden to my father's name

well fuck your family legacy
i didn't want to be part of it anyway
people who brush shit under the rug
pretend everything is fine
lie straight through their teeth
trusting nobody
crying themselves to sleep

hiding the truth
until it's too late
denying they need help
even as they see the grim reaper's
grin

they forget who they are
but they don't even know it

not me.
