Escape


I know my day is to come to escape this madness and that is to be to sad.

Well maybe not for me but for you.

Once I am gone who will you manipulate next?

Ohhh, I see

The four innocent souls that are left being

Being here in your unwanted presence

Being here with no escape until the magic number reaches surface

That magic number being 18.

 

You say that you are teaching us discipline

You know-- by making us clean up after you

Not only for the mess you make

But your life mistakes

Holding us hostage in a land of confusion

A land of denial

Of why

Why are we being the ones being held accountable

Accountable for the mess you make

Accountable for your life mistakes

Why?

 

Why is it okay?

Okay for you to not held accountable

In your eyes it is because I am a female

It is because I am a female and you have no respect

No respect for women with a sense of mind

 

You lie

You cheat

And think it’s okay

 

Wow, Dad

What a great example you make
