Lecture by lecture

The anger sits and bakes

All my mishaps are followed with

"We can't afford this mistake"


Pent up feelings building up,

She sits behind a closed door.

Mental health falling apart,

I guess that is what you can afford.


Journals filled with feelings,

Into it, her heart she poured.

Sleepless nights staring at ceilings.

I guess that is what you can afford.


Nitpicking the wrongs

Each message clearly stored.

I guess having a child who hates themselves

Was a mistake you could afford.
