Where do you go
When your house
Is no longer a home
When you no longer feel safe in your bed
Because you can hear their words
And your cheerleaders
Are the ones holding you back

Where to you turn
When you supposedly greatest supporters
Become your greatest critics
When the gossiping girls in the bathroom
Have insults
That seem like elementary insults
Compared to the things you hear at home

When do you decide
Enough is enough
When they are to afraid to repeat their words
To your face
When you can't tell them things
For fear they will use it against you

When do you decide it is time to spread your wings
And leave the nest that has become a death trap
It doesn't matter if I can or cannot fly
I would gladly plummet downwards
As long as I escaped

When do you finally stop denying
What once were your parents
Are now simply your
"Legal Guardians"
This probably seems shallow and I understand it is a total FWP but I am sick and tired of my sister "reporting" back to me about things they said about me while I was gone. And that my parents keep telling me what is important and to stop writing, which is one of the only reasons I keep breathing and the one thing I know I will do after I graduate. I am really sorry for wasting your time in reading this.
