they always ask me, "caydence why do you never talk to us anymore?"

and i remember everyday i tried to talk and i was told to shut up, youre too loud! they said, or im told my thoughts were unimportant, or not relevant.

they ask me "caydence, you know you can always talk to me, right?"

then i remember everytime i started crying, and they said stop, your crying face is hideous! or oh wipe your tears, you're too sensitive. im told that im just an emotional teenage girl.

they tell me "caydence, you never come out of your room anymore!"

so i remember everytime i come out and they criticize, have you even brushed your hair? or its 3'o clock and you're still in your pajamas? they tell me she's finally out, thank god! i haven't see her in ages.

why am i being punished for behavior they like to see?
