Silence


Prove to me how worthless I really am. Insult me Point out every single flaw As if I didn't notice each and every imperfection. Like the mirror doesn't already scream with hatred. Maybe we can all be repulsed by the image reflecting back at me. Call me names and put me down. Drag me into your fake family charade of a complete happy family Only to criticize me. Question why I hide in the corner While insults fly, darting towards me until they pierce me. Deflating me until I'm nothing but a whisp Invisible and unimportant. Incessantly pester me with degrading comments and then ask why I don't talk. Quit asking why I don't come to family events When I'm not part of this family. I want no part of this. I don't need your fake kindness Don't act like you actually care about me. You've made your choice. You've shown me how much you all care. Stop. I'm done. I don't need family to know what a waste I am.
