In Need of an Escape


I'm tired of people telling me what I should do or who I should be Home is supposed to be a safe place for me to be myself But instead I feel judged and angry I get good grades and stay home all the time so I don't get into trouble And still I get criticized for not hating my dad just because everyone else does Or for doing or thinking about things the way my mom thinks I should I feel like I'm in a house fill of a bunch of liars They tell me one thing then I hear them talking about me behind my back And trust me the second is not positive I just want to leave for college and NEVER look back I'm done with this fake family And if there was any way I could get away sooner I would do it I just want to be at a place where I feel comfortable and happy And right now vocational school is the ONLY place I can't deal with this any more I need an escape and soon
