Talk.
No.
I really don’t want to talk about it,
Stop.
Why are you insisting, why aren’t you listening to
The words coming out of my mouth?
Alone.
I want to be alone, why are you still here;
Yelling in my ear of ways to fix me.
I’m not a doll you can just glue back together.
You tell me to get out of this slump, you are done
Playing these games. As if depression can be turned
off with a switch.
You don’t seem to understand the entirety of my pain,
But what would you gain from that anyway?
I feel alone. I once thought I was safe in my home,
but then I wasn’t.
I know you bear guilt, but I bear the scars on my heart; From where he tore my childhood apart. But what am I talking about anyway, I’m just a kid.
Just know that I didn’t do this to myself. He did.
