Essentials


You need love

You make sacrifices

If you sacrifice love, what's left?

Hate is not essential

Even criminals can love deeply

I wish you could read my brain

I'm big, but I'm starving

Satrving for praise, love, attention

You give so freely to others

tiger mom, our love is complicated,

but it's true I know i'm only 15, but

sometimes you make me feel 43 

Bcause I feel like I have to work to please you 

dont make me leave dont make me hate

I rebel

I wish that you could

realize

just how rich my brothers are

Things dont buy love

attention praise buys love
