"We hardly see you anymore", my mom said today. Weren't you the one who chased me away? I'm never home because of you. Because I can't be who I want to be with you. Because I can't cry in front of you. Because I can't tell you anything anymore. Just trying to tell you about my day is signing up for your degradation. And I know you're bitter about the way life turned out. Does that mean I shouldn't be happy anymore? Home is supposed to be a place to look for You turned it to place I don't want to be anymore.
