I wish they’d leave me alone, I wish that I could be in another country, thousands of miles apart. But then I watch a video of a man crying for having cut out his father for the same reason, whose father is now dead. Do I dare do the same thing? When I see them, it’s all good, but when I leave them I know it was all pretend. I’m left with a fish bone Wedged in my throat Boulders Weighing heavy on my chest. I can’t breath. And I want to die. Is it fair that they leave me Feeling this way? With guilt leaving me tripping For days. I am told I’d be better off If I cut them out of my life. I know this, but how? How do I cut them out. When they’re like leaches ******* the blood out from my veins And when I tear them off I cry out in pain. The people Who I call Mum and dad Who I’ve been told I should love and cherish Are not the people that I want to call Mum and dad.
