Congratulations
Your mom would've been so proud
Instead of going the socially unacceptable route of drugs and eating disorders
You went the slightly-more-acceptable route of disconnection, isolation, pain and emptiness
Just like she did
Except without the drugs.
So as long as you're not burdening any of us
And as long as we're happy with one word answers when we ask about your well being
Go ahead and cry on your floor like you always do
No one will bother you
Because you have a degree and a job.
Who cares about how you really feel?
You've done so well going through so much.
Congratulations.
