poem
Years passed
"He will pay me back" Repeating like a daily prayer, I swear I believed him though I had doubt, while, Years were passing, He fought for our lives By crushing us down, he saved us from getting crushed again I thought he'd be interested I thought he'd care Once stress settled down But the soonest moment he got the chance, He ran away by plane Just like he had said, for his freedom Because I shackle him just by my existence I'm not sad about not having money I'm sad about being robbed My sense of work paying off has lost its meaning Is destroying me the way he shows love? While, he may have good reason to take my money He put everyone else as his priority I'm not even in his equation I am the prop hold his life together He said he wanted a second child to be a playmate to his first To fulfill his oldest daughter's loneliness, And when mom died, to be the new mom, More like a prisoner* Who is not even allowed to recognize the cage for what it is Is that my purpose? I don't stand on my own, I'm a mistake to have been born So many moments I could have died, I just want it all to end What's the point? Years are passing In and out of therapy To talk about how I'm a burden and the answer is "No you're not, don't be so cynical" Call up your grandmother because all grandmothers are most likely great people And you're just a whimp Paralyzing fear of ole granny isnt real, just get over it Cause you're gonna make her break into tears How her daughter died and her daughter's daughter doesn't care Remember, when you pulled me by my ears?* Do you remember yelling at me, humiliating me,* intimidating me, playing mind games with me? Telling me I threw up because i eat too much and calling me a cow. I* got sick from too much stress How old was i? 5 fingers and 1 finger , 6 years old And you were... 10 fingers and 10 toes multiplied by 4, at least 60 You were 10 times my age Or maybe even older. I don't know And it is my responsibility to care for YOU? This isn't a natural way to view your grandchild, sorry to say, I don't think so And now you're wondering why I don t call. Will you bombard me about getting a job? If I visit you when you come back from your vacation, will you see my pimples and make fun? Will you single me out again like you've done for so long? Maybe instead of telling me to get a job, you can try caring about me Maybe you would understand that the money I earned had all been taken. For an emergency or not, I still don't truly know, but he took it without asking, without paying attention to how I feel, without trying to pay me back in a reasonable amount of time He doesn't even know how much he owes me. He is getting older, I don't want to lose him Money isn't everything, but I need to move out so badly I've been betrayed by my family Everyday I have to repeat, that, I'm not a bad person I'm not a bad person I'm not a bad person That I matter in this world. And there's that little voice that says I must not tell lies I must not tell lies I must not tell lies Yes you are a bad person, and thinking otherwise is a lie |
