On Living Alone


This relationship is toxic.

Alone is a relative term.

I live in a house.

Family included,

but not at home.

I'm always hurt .

Living is a relative term.

I don't not live.

I survive.

I try not to get trampeled by the angry words.

The words shouted at me by my father.

My mother,

She listens but does nothing.

She tells me I'm right,

But does nothing  to help.

I live alone in a shellof myself.

What I should do is unknown to me,

For I'm alone with no one to help.

I just want to make it out of here. I'm tired of not being heard. I don't pretend to be an author but I'm here, so there.
