You, but Never I
The question is...
When did you start caring?
You never once took action to make sure I was okay
You never once asked me how was my day
You never once told me it was going to be okay
You never once!
You stood by as I cried,
You stood by as I tore myself to pieces,
You stood by as I wrecked the world of it's only foundation!
You stood by!
I ran my whole life
Wondering why.
Why did you forget about me?
Why did you choose him over me?
Why, mom, why?
I listened to all your stories,
I listened to all the terrible words you said to me,
I listened when you let him say those things about me!
I listened.
I broke.
I died.
Yet, you wondered why I had yelled
I hate you!
You wondered why I had refused to say
I love you!
Now, I'm here.
Doing my own,
Being my own.
Engaged to someone I love.
So, you know what?
Fuck you, Mother.
