The Will of a Neglected Child

Congrats to you both

Round of applause

Looks like everyone

Believes your cruel façade

It’s almost impressive

How you both put on a show

To make it look just like

You’re the best people to know

Meanwhile I’m here

Behind the curtain

Wondering why

I just keep hurting

the bullshit you’ll tell

Your lame excuses

Making me wonder

If I’ll always be useless

Growing up in a shadow of doubt

Feeling so alone

Your constant negligence

Leaving me cold to the bone

Trying to silently cry

“I’m here”

Then when you complain

I disappear

But congrats to me

I put on a show

A façade so great

You’d love to know

I pretended like

You didn’t make me ill

I pretended like

I didn’t have a will

A will so strong

I’ll show my best trick yet

I’ll disappear

And I’ll never come back
